Embrace the Crunch With This Ramen Noodle Salad

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Maryland chapter.

Summer is here and with it comes healthier and brighter versions of your favorite meals. I suggest you start by taking your leftover packets of ramen and transforming them into a unique ingredient inside of a vibrant salad. When crushed and toasted you will find that ramen can offer a lot of flavor and texture that wouldn’t normally be found in a bowl of soup.

Of course the other ingredients that you choose to use in your salad are totally up to you, but I’ve gone ahead and laid out an array of tasty and nutritionally complete fruits, vegetables and proteins that are shown in the following recipe.

    Grab the packet of ramen and pound it a few times with your hands or a textbook to crush it into medium sized pieces. Pour the pieces on to a baking tray and throw away the flavor packet; we don’t need any of that processed nonsense. Toast the ramen in the oven at 400 degrees for around 10 minutes.

    Build the dressing by combining the olive oil, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper.
