You will LOVE this tangy (but slightly sweet) one-big-bowl salad. Great as a potluck or picnic carry-along, too.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 13m

Yield 1 cup servings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 (3 ounce) package chicken-flavored ramen noodles, reserve seasoning packet for dressing
1 (1 lb) package coleslaw mix
6 cups lettuce, bite-size (or romaine)
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 (1 lb) package imitation crabmeat, thawed
1/3 cup canola oil (or olive oil)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Toast nuts and seeds in a cast-iron frying pan on medium heat OR in the oven -- until golden-brown; set aside to cool.
  • Break ramen noodles into small pieces; set aside until just before serving time.
  • In a large bowl, combine coleslaw, lettuce, onion and crab.
  • Mix dressing ingredients and the seasoning packet in a pint jar or other container with a lid; stir or shake until sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • AT SERVING TIME: add nuts and noodles to the salad; toss well. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
  • LEFTOVERS: This salad is really good the next day too, but the ramen will have lost its crunchiness -- so ADD another packet of broken ramen noodles.
  • LARGE FAMILY/POTLUCK OPTION: Add two packets of ramen noodles to stretch it a bit further.
  • SUBSTITUTIONS: Switch out the crab for some cooked chicken breast chunks or even shrimp! Add a few tablespoons of finely minced green Bell peppers (orange, red, yellow, too). Use scallions instead of a large onion.

CRAB COLE SLAW

Categories     Other Salads

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head cabbage
2 pkg imitation crabmeat
2 c mayonnaise
1 bunch green onion
1/2 chopped round sweet onion
2 pinch salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground stone mustard
2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Thinly slice entire head of cabbage and place in a large mixing bowl. I usually omit the core and save it to use as filler for stews and soup.
  • 2. Cut the green onions in the same manner and add them to the bowl. This may be omitted, I mainly use it for coloring.
  • 3. Finely chop your onion and add to mixing bowl.
  • 4. Open your packages of imitation crab meat and you may either chop or peel and add to mixing bowl. Either way works fine, it just depends on how you like to eat your crab whether in chunks or slivers. Add salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar then thoroughly mix all ingredients.
  • 5. Add mayonnaise. Amount may be adjusted to your taste. This recipe is much better when prepared ahead of time so that all ingredients have time to marinate.

ORIGINAL OLD BAY® COLESLAW



Original Old Bay® Coleslaw image

This recipe used to be printed on the Old Bay® cans, but it was removed a decade or more ago; it is very different than the one on the current Old Bay website. I much prefer this one and even today occasionally see a posting from someone looking for the old recipe from the Old Bay can. Well, here it is!
