Cabbage is so so so good for you! I will list just the few benefits of it that I can think of off the top of my head. If you want to know more about it's benefits, Google it you will find tons of info.
Cabbage:
is Anti-Inflammatory
Prevents and cures ulcers
is Anti-Cancer
Aids with digestion
Boosts the immune system
Never have I heard anything bad about Cabbage it's a great item to add to your regular diet. And this is one of my favorite ways to eat lots of it! Just be sure that the Ramen noodles and seasoning packet has good ingredients. The regular cheap name brand Ramen is made with Partially Hydrogenated oils and the seasoning has lots of MSG! The salad would be good without it but I really like the noodles in it so I go to the health food store and find some good noodles!
Crunchy Cabbage Salad
1 head of green cabbage, finely shredded
3 packages of not bad for you (have to get at a health food store;)Ramen Noodles, crumbled
4 green onions, sliced thinly
½ cup slivered almonds
Some grated carrot (optional)
When I’m being lazy I just buy a couple of bags a prepackaged coleslaw and use instead of the cabbage. (So most of the time;)

Whisk dressing ingredients together well. Pour over salad, let set in refrigerator at least 2 hours. Or eat soon if you like it really crunchy.
Woohoo for cabbage, we're gonna grow some in our garden someday. Thanks for keeping this blog updated! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI've missed homemade coleslaw on my year long fast. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad to try some new healthy cabbage ideas.
I made this last night with some variations.
My healthfood store had Annie Chun's Noodle express, with a soft noodle and sauce pack. Obviously it wasn't crunchy. I was curious what brand of healthy ramen you used.
I used sesame oil and rice vinegar. I couldn't find hemp. Sesame seeds worked well. There are lots of left overs and for lunch today I added some unsalted shell peanuts and left over fresh pineapple to the top!
I have found a couple of different kinds of Ramen at my local health food store that I like. My favorite is a KOYO brand I like the flavor Asain Vegetable Ramen but I also have used soken brand. Both are similar to the TOP RAMEN brand you see at the grocery store but without all the terrible ingredients like hydrogenated oils and MSG etc.
ReplyDeleteYour variation sounds super yummy too!
what kind of oil are you using in this salad thanks
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: I usually just use extra virgin olive oil but my mom uses semsame oil in it when she makes it.
ReplyDeleteThis is out of this world! It taste sooooo good! The dressing is wonderful! We made this last night with your split pea soup which is also soooooooooo good!! I look forward to trying out a bunch more of your recipes! :)
