Not sure how it happened, but all of our kids on Luna’s side end up being assigned the same tasks for family gatherings. I always have dessert. My little sister always brings cookies. My eldest sister is always on the side…is your family doing that?
Well, my sister who always brings noodles is often asked to bring today’s ramen salad recipe. This salad is a family favorite and one we’ve made over the years. We tried to track down where we got the recipe, but we’ve made it so long we can’t remember, but we’re glad we have it. This is delicious!
I would never have imagined that ramen in a salad could be so amazing, but it adds the perfect crunch! Homemade dressing is just as good–overall, the salad is easy to put together.

can i make this ahead of time? You can definitely make this salad ahead of time. Since we like our noodles to be crispier, I often mix up the salad ingredients in the morning and put them in the fridge. I bake the noodles, mix the seasonings, and put them in separate containers. I add the noodles and dressing to the salad before serving.
How to Store Leftover Salad: Cover the remaining salad and refrigerate for 3 days. The noodles will absorb the dressing and lose some crunch, but the salad still tastes great!
Honestly, I think I could eat this salad all day! My only suggestion is that it gets eaten quickly. After it had been sitting for a few hours, the noodles softened and it wasn’t as crunchy as the noodles. 🙂
