Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Turn this into a delicious main-dish salad by adding shredded cooked chicken.

Chopped peanuts or honey-roasted peanuts would be a delicious substitute for the almonds in this recipe.

The ramen noodles will be crisp if the salad is served right after making it, but will soften if the salad is stored.

Absolutly delicious! Only change was that I added chicken that I had marniated in a ginger/garlic marinade. Made a ton, but the leftovers were just as delicious. this is a keeper for hot summer nights. For easy and healthy!

I made this salad for dinner and to my surprise, my husband absolutely loved it. He went on and on about how good it was and then started making dance mooves at the table. Finally, decided he wanted me to prepare it for a potluck for his job. Needless to say, it has become a favorite at our table.
