A vibrant, make-ahead salad that stays crisp for days. It features a tangy homemade sesame ginger dressing and is packed with crunchy vegetables, edamame, almonds, and ramen for texture. Perfect for meal prep or as a fresh side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 oz) bag tri-color coleslaw mix
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • 1 (3 oz) package ramen noodles, seasoning packet discarded, lightly crushed
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (like avocado or grapeseed)
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 large garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. In a very large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, sliced bell pepper, edamame, green onions, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix.
  2. In a separate bowl or jar, whisk together the neutral oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, garlic, and sriracha (if using) until fully emulsified.
  3. Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss very well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Just before serving, add the crushed ramen noodles and sliced almonds to the salad. Toss with the remaining reserved dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

For best texture, store the crushed ramen and almonds separately and add just before eating. The dressed salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. To make gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free ramen or omit noodles. For a complete meal, add shredded chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
