Abuelita's California Coleslaw image

My mother-in-law brought us this recipe when she came from California to visit us in Tennessee. She said she actually got the recipe from a Tennessee friend, but it was given to her in California. So we have always called it her California Coleslaw. This is a great favorite at church picnics. VARIATIONS: You can use rainbow...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 oz shredded angel hair coleslaw
1 pkg chicken ramen noodles
20 oz canned chicken breast, well-drained
2 bunch green onions with tops, sliced
1/2 c slivered almonds
1/4 c toasted sunflower seeds
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
DRESSING
3/4 c sunflower or canola oil
1/4 c sugar
1/2 c rice vinegar
1 pkg seasoning from ramen noodles
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 pinch salt, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Break the uncooked Ramen noodles into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the seasoning packet for the dressing. Toss noodles together with the cabbage, chicken, and salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • 2. In a pint jar, combine dressing ingredients. Shake well. Pour over salad ingredients and stir well. Taste for salt and add if needed. The Ramen seasoning packet is usually quite enough salt for us.
  • 3. Refrigerate until serving time. Best prepared about 4 hours ahead as it gives the flavors time to blend. Refrigerate any leftovers.

I'm allergic to cabbage, so I used broccoli slaw instead. It turned out great!

This coleslaw is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my coleslaw turned out too vinegary. I think I added too much dressing.

I'm not usually a fan of coleslaw, but this recipe changed my mind! The dressing is so flavorful and the cabbage is nice and crisp.
