. . . ramen salad 2.0 . . .

. . . have you ever tried

napa cabbage? . . .

. . . i love it for its mild flavor

and curly crunch . . .

. . . pick up some

next time

you're in the produce section . . .

. . . slice it thinly . . .

. . . add a few green onions . . .

. . . and this delicious concoction . . .

{buttery crushed ramen noodles, sliced almonds, and sesame seeds}

. . . toss with a

peanut butter/soy/rice vinegar

dressing . . .

. . . welcome tweaks

and a little upgrade

from the lowly ramen salad . . .

. . . based on this pinned recipe

from jamiecooksitup . . .

. . . i almost always

make a few changes . . .

in this case:

•decrease butter to 1/4 cup

{when toasting the noodles, nuts, and seeds}

•add the ramen flavor packets

to the melted butter

for the dressing, i use:

•1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

•scant 1/2 cup canola oil

•scant 1/2 cup rice vinegar {i like vinegar!}

•scant 1/2 cup sugar

•2 tablespoons soy sauce
