  • 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.
