Crunchy Asian Noodle Salad

Whilst browsing Pinterest one evening, I caught sight of a crunchy Ramen noodle salad, and it took me back to living in America, where I first came across such a thing. The ones I tried contained lots of shredded cabbage and carrot, along with crunchy noodles - the kind that you eat straight out of the packet when you're a student as you can't be bothered to leave your room to put the kettle on (allegedly!)

The following morning I was craving the taste of that salad and decided to make a similar version with salad leaves instead of shredded cabbage. I didn't plan to publish the recipe on here, but having been asked for it I thought it was my duty to share the simplicity of this Asian noodle salad. I'm guessing you could call this healthy, as all the fresh veggies kind of counteract the unhealthiness of the instant noodles.

1 orange, segmented
1 carrot, peeled

1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp clear honey

  • add your salad leaves, spring onion & orange segments to a bowl
  • take your carrot & shave thin slices off with your peeler, add these to the bowl
  • crumble the instant noodles into the bowl
  • mix all the dressing ingredients together
  • add approx 1 tbsp of the dressing to the bowl and toss everything to coat, adding more dressing as needed
  • scatter a few sesame seeds on top and serve immediately
