COLD CRAB NOODLE SALAD



Cold Crab Noodle Salad image

This a tasty salad for when you need a change from the same old salad! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do... I got this recipe from a co-worker and I am glad I did, it is really good! Oh and easy to make too!

Provided by Bowie Girl

Categories     Crab

Time 15m

Yield 1 large Salad

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package Coleslaw
6 cups red leaf lettuce
8 ounces crab
3 -4 chopped green onions
1 (3 ounce) package chicken-flavored ramen noodles, uncooked,reserve season packet from noodles for dressing
2 tablespoons slivered almonds (toasted)
1/3 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Mix together items for the salad but make sure to put the dressing& noodles/almond mix on just before serving!
  • Serve cold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood. The fresher the crab and shrimp, the better the salad will taste. If you can, buy live crab and shrimp and cook them yourself.
  • Cook the seafood properly. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Crab and shrimp should be cooked just until they are opaque and firm.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad. Some good choices include celery, cucumber, red bell pepper, and snow peas.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavor of the seafood. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good choice.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Oriental noodle crab salad is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Oriental noodle crab salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover crab and shrimp. With its combination of fresh seafood, vegetables, and a light dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
