This is delicious! It is so fast and easy. And I do not even like broccoli at ALL! I substituted the nuts listed with chopped pecans, and I cut back a tad on the sugar. EASY EASY EASY FAST FAST FAST GOOD GOOD GOOD! Now that’s my kind of appetizer. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
-
Really good! If you like a crunchier salad, prepare within a few hours of serving — otherwise, noodles get soft — but good either way! Also tried with regular slaw and worked well!
-
This is VERY easy to make and really, really good! The next time I make it I will cut back on the sugar a bit, but overall a fantastic, crunchy salad that would be great to serve just about anytime.
-
This is a wonderful salad. I have made it several times for large groups and everyone loves it! I use half the peanuts and sunflower kernels instead of seeds. Delicious!
-
This salad is very good. My husband was crazy about it.
-
Deliciouis–nice and crunchy. This is one of the few things I’ve made that even my teenagers liked.
-
This is a crowd pleaser and something different than the normal summer BBQ fare. My guests enjoyed it.
-
This is my favorite salad – I can eat the whole bowl by myself 🙂 It’s always a hit with a crowd, too.
-
This recipe is excellent. Quick and easy to make and everyone loves it.
-
I made this at Christmas for our family and my very picky Aunt said she loved it and wanted the recipe – That’s how I know how good it was! 🙂
-
This is a really easy and good salad. My son doesn’t care for it (he’s 4), but adults surely will!!
-
I served this at a graduation party and everyone really enjoyed it. It was also easy to make.
-
Very good. I used ramen teriyaki noodle soup and feel it gave this salad a MUCH better flavor than the regular chicken noodle soup.
-
Wow! I made this recipe 3 times in one week for different get-togethers. Everyone raved and asked for the recipe. I used the Teriyaki flavor as another reviewer suggested, and it came out great! It’s so easy to scale this recipe up and down for large groups, I’ll make it again and again!
-
Very good and very easy. This is the only special salad I make for us to eat at home.
-
There were way too many noodles – one package would have been plenty. The seasoning packet I used, chicken, was to salty and overpowering
-
This is one of my favorite salads to make. Since I am a college student, it is very affordable and more healthy than some other foods. The only things I do differently is: use beef flavored Ramen, Virgin Olive Oil, and Almond Slivers. Overall, this is a great recipe for any type of budget.
-
I’m sorry to disagree with the other positive reviews but we didn’t care for this much. We LOVE broccoli but did not care for the texture/taste of the broccoli coleslaw mix. I MIGHT try this again with the pre-packaged, regular coleslaw mix as I like the idea and the dressing “flavor” wasn’t bad. Since most of this was passed over after a few bites and my soup didn’t exactly turn out, we tossed what was left and found a pizza instead. Thanks anyways.

-
Wonderful salad! Next time I will use less ramen noodles and more of the broccoli slaw. Very colorful.We had it for two meals and snacked on it throughout the day. pkincaid
-
I loved the salad, but had to make it twice. I wished the recipe said to cook the ramen noodles first! I guess since I was new to this ingredient, I didn’t think to cook them first. My first batch had crunchy noodles! Thanks for the recipe!
-
EXCELLENT!!! I have made this many times and everyone loves it! I sometimes add raisins to it and this adds a nice sweetness.You can also replace peanuts with cashews for a nice taste!Just made it for Easter it is good for covered dish events!! Thanks!
-
I thought this recipe was just ok. I am not sure what I was expecting, but the flavor just wasn’t right. Maybe it was because I only had “hot and spicy” ramen noodles and used that instead of chicken flavor.
-
Yum Yum great hit! I used pine nuts with it!
This is great for big gatherings it makes plenty, scale down for a family portion. -
This was a hit at my BBQ last night! Everyone went back for seconds. Guests even asked if they could take some home and/or get the recipe! Very yummy! I could have made it an entire meal!
-
SUPER! Easy and Tasty! Big hit at last night’s Bunco. Changes: 1/3 C sugar, not 1/2 (dieter’s you know) 2 bags of regular slaw, brocolli florets, no nuts, added yellow raisens, 1 chicken ramen & 1 teriaki. Huge Hit! Will be a staple in my recipe box!
-
This is one my very favorite salads.It’s always a hit wherever I take it. I use one packet of Oriental (or Teriyaki) noodles and one packet of chicken. Note: DON”T cook the noodles first. Just break them up into fairly small pieces while still in the package and dump them in! They may be a little crunchy, but this is part of the special appeal of this salad. The noodles will continue to absorb liquid from the other ingredients and “soften” after awhile.(But even with soft noodles the next day, leftovers are still good to me!) I also use almonds (slivered or sliced), instead of peanuts, along with sunflower kernels.
-
Very good and easy to make. I definately recommend waiting until just before serving to add the dressing mixture and noodles so they stay crunchy. Makes good leftovers, too.
-
Love the crunchiness of the salad. Do not cook the noodles! Why do some people think they are supposed to cook them? It was too sweet for me so next time I will reduce the sugar. Left out the nuts but added raisins.
-
I have tried this recipe both ways and much prefer the noodles COOKED! It is also better the next day. I don’t like peanuts, so I use toasted almonds instead.
-
This salad was a big hit at my sister’s baby shower. I’ve made a similar salad with Napa cabbage, but I enjoyed this one more. I also added broccoli florettes as someone else suggested. It beefed it up and made it even prettier. I loved the crunch of the noodles, sunflower seeds and peanuts. Add those right before serving for best results.
-
This is a delicious salad!!!! The peanuts didn’t appeal to me – I toasted some sliced almonds in the oven and used them instead with the sunflower seeds! I added some broccoli florets which was a nice contrast – and it was enjoyed by all. This will become a regular at our house!
-
Mmmm. This is very good. It’s easy and quick to make which is a plus. I used Rainbow slaw because it was cheaper and the only difference is it has hearts of cauliflower along with everything else. Next time I will use 1/4 cup of sugar, because 1/2 cup was a lot. I also only used 1 of the seasoning packets because they have so much sodium. This salad is great for a sunny spring day!
-
We loved this! My changes– I used slivered almonds instead of peanuts, oriental ramen noodles instead of chicken flavored. I wasn’t sure whether to cook the noodles, so I cooked one package and kept the second dry. I liked it that way! Also, I cooked a pound of boneless chicken breasts in the crockpot with one of the oriental seasoning packets, then shredded and cooled the chicken, and added it to the salad. With the addition of the chicken, I doubled the liquid ingredients because it seemed too dry. Turned out great and my husband wants this on the menu “at least once a week!”
-
Has a wonderful texture with the nuts & greens, with a sweet flavor from the sauce.
-
Pretty yummy but a bit oily for me. I guess the ramen noodles have enough fat without adding anymore. Good, though!
-
ALWAYS GREAT; HEALTHY VARIATION ADD SPLENDA OR OTHER SWEETNER TO TASTE…. I LIKE THE TERIAKI AND YOU CAN ADD GRAPES OR RAISEN POSSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS
-
all i can say is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. I had this many years back at a picnic and had been looking for he recipe. i love it. definetly a keeper
-
This is my favorite salad recipe and love it just the way it is. Have had it with the noodles cooked but like the texture better uncooked. Also, the rainbow slaw works well too.
-
Thank you for posting this recipe. We tasted a dish like this at a picnic and my husband wanted me to find the recipe. I used Oriental flavored Ramen noodles, toasted some almonds instead of peanuts, left out the onions and cut down on the sugar. I didn’t have cider vinegar so I used plain vinegar and a little apple juice. It turned out well.
-
Turned out good and is easy to make
-
I always make this for family gatherings. If you make this salad the night before and put in a container with a lid and shake a few times before serving, the dressing coats the noodles and they soften up on their own. Don’t cook the noodles! I also add the nuts just before serving so they stay crunchy. I use sesame seeds and cashews. Yummy!
-
this is always a good dish but i always make a few changes . i toasted sesame seeds and used sunflower seeds in it also i did not add sugar and used 1/3 c. canola oil and around a tbsp and a half of cider vinegar.i also shredded my own cabbage. always good to adjust it to your own tastes…….
-
Every time I take this to a party, I am hounded for the recipe! It is a wonderful alternative to the traditional pasta salads. I used rice vinegar and sesame oil to give it more of an Asian flare. I used soy nuts instead of the peanuts. Additionally, I blanched some broccoli and sugar snap peas and added them to it. Fabulous!
-
Excellent!!! I had this salad at family gatherings but had never gotten the recipe. I finally found it! This salad is sooo good. I substituted cashews for the peanuts but otherwise made it exactly the same. Really tasty!
-
This is the best salad! Always a winner at parties. My favorite!!
-
I have made this several times for friends & family & it is ALWAYS a HUGE hit!! I wouldn’t change a thing, it is delicious “as is”….and very easy to make!
-
Very good!
-
Quick, easy, inexpensive and yummy. What else can I say? The variations are endless if you use your imagination. Definately a keeper.
-
this was delicious! I made it in the morning for a party in the evening and it was very good. I did not use the peanuts, due to allgeries, and everyone loved it!
-
Absolutely delicious!
-
This salad is positively divine! It was a hit at a picnic pitch-in, last night! I tweaked it a little, using mandarin oranges, cashews, and a few drops of sesame oil…very little left…husband took it for lunch, today! Thank you!
-
Light & different. Better the second day and keeps for several days. Left out the nuts & sunflower seeds due to allergies, and it was still excellent. I was concerned about using uncooked noodles but they softened right up. I’ll definitely make this again
-
Loved this easy to make salad. Served with Grilled Salmon recipe and white rice. A few mods: only used one package Ramen noodles (and it was plenty crunchy). Halved the sugar, too. I think a 1/2 cup would have been way too sweet! Don’t dress until just before you serve, or noodles will get soggy. If you want leftovers, dress each portion separately.
-
Simply delish! I used Splenda in place of the sugar and added sesame seeds and a bit of sesame oil. Cashews are nice instead of peanuts too!
-
Instead of using chicken flavored ramen noodles I used oriental flavored ramen noodles…added wonderful spice! Easy to make…will make again!
-
Great! I tweaked a little – I don’t add peanuts, I add 1/4 cup chopped red onion, chopped celery, toasted sesame seeds, a few splashes sesame oil, and some wasabi powder to the sauce (for zip). I even put in red bell pepper, cabbage, and ginger powder if I’m feeling it. Only use one ramen package (oriental flavor), 1/8 cup sugar (actually splenda sugar/sweetner mix), mix natural rice vinegar with the cider vinegar. We love the end result – but I would definitely follow the recipe as it’s written if I were serving to a large group.
-
It seems everyplace I take this salad I’m asked for the recipe. Now I just keep it in my purse when I take the salad to share!
-
This is a great salad and it works well for a potluck meal with friends or at church. I have also made this with oriental flavored Ramen noodles and it was terrific.
-
I love this salad. I chopped some broccoli and added to it, used almonds in place of the peanuts. I also made up a little more dressing than was called for. The only thing I didnt like about the recipe was the fact that there was no mention of cooking the noodles. I guess it just depends on your taste. I did not want mine crunchy, so it took a full 12 hours in the fridge to get them soft. It actually tasted better the next day anyway, so it was worth the wait. Next time I’ll know that if I want the salad the same day, to cook the noodles first. Thanks for a great salad!!!
-
Very easy, tastes great.
-
Yummy! I used almonds because that is what was in the pantry. Also I only used one packet of the seasoning to cut out some salt. It was very good. We like it with the noodles crunchy. As they soften it takes away the appeal of the salad to us.
-
I think this recipe is great as is. I do cut down on the sugar a little – just personal taste but everyone always loves this salad.
-
I enjoyed the chrunchy texture of this salad, but all the chrunchy items almost overpowered the broccoli. If I make again I will leave the sunflower seeds out. You must eat this the day you make it, broccoli is mushy the next day.
-
Family members will lick their plates clean with this recipe…okay, maybe not, but this is really good. I used all shredded cabbage, tossed in some cooked chicken cubes and left out the peanuts and sunflower seeds. It’s a family favorite!
-
This is a staple in our menu. My two year old begs for his “fa-vor-ite salad.” I skip the peanuts just to suit our preferences, and I have occasionally used the Rainbow Slaw instead of Brocolli slaw. Neither changes the flavor of the recipe much. This really is sure to please everyone.
-
I had this at a friends birthday party and knew I could find the recipe on this site! It is so good. It is a lot like the chinese chicken salad but even better. The only thing I do differently is to cut the number of green onions down to about 2 or 3. It is my favorite summer bbq salad!
-
Even if you try this only once…it will totally win you over! This is an excellent salad to bring to potlucks, summer games, or a light salad with a sandwich at home. Friends ask me to make this over and over and over (my boyfriend is getting tired of it only because it is “requested” everywhere we go!). Extremely easy, can’t mess it up. The longer it sits in the fridge, the better it gets. I put it in a Rubbermaid and turn it over every couple of hours until ready to eat. You won’t be able to put it back in the fridge. TO DIE FOR! Oh, and DON’T cook the ramen noodles first! Crush them up and add them…they will absorb the liquid in the recipe. Yum!
-
Salad is a great slaw alternative – I left out the peanuts and sunflower seeds and I also reduced the amount of sugar to try and make this slightly more healthy. I would make this again – I think it would be great with some raisins (regular OR white)added.
-
I really like it and so did all my friends that I bought it to a BBQ. I also left out the peanuts and doubled the recipe.
-
It was alright. I was looking for something with a little bit more flavor.
-
This is very good… I have made it twice already (I doubled it both times) in the past 2 weeks! I omit the peanuts & sunflower seeds because they aren’t something that I normally keep on hand. Still tastes great to everyone that has eaten it!!!
-
YUM! This was great. I used slivered almonds instead of peanuts, because it’s what I had on hand. It was good and I think I’d do it again. Next time, I might also add some ginger to the dressing.
-
I brought this to a party and went home with an empty bowl! This is a delicious salad. The only thing I changed was that I used a bag of regular coleslaw mix rather than the broccoli slaw, just because my grocery store didn’t have a big enough package of the broccoli slaw. Still turned out great!
-
Very good better the second day. Would make again.
-
This was pretty good as written. I added a handful of chopped cilantro and basil, and I made a lime sesame dressing, because I didn’t want to use the salt (I mean flavor) packet that comes with the ramen noodles. I threw in a chopped up chili pepper too for some kick.
-
I made this dish for my best friend’s 30th birthday celebration themed “Brunch on the Beach” and it was a hit!! I followed the directions precisely except for minor changes. Instead of using vegetable oil, chicken flavored noodles and peanuts,I used toasted sesame oil, oriental flavored ramen noodles and added sliced almonds. The toasted sesame oil definately enhanced the flavor. And I did not cook the noodles prior to adding them to the salad. I enjoy cooking but I don’t like spending all day chopping or being in the kitchen so this recipe was amazingly easy and my kind of “cooking”; a palate pleaser. I will definately make this dish again.
-
Really, really good. Like the others I ommitted the peanuts and sunflower seeds (mostly because I don’t like nuts in my salad). My store was also out of the broccoli slaw, so I picked up a mix of broccoli and cabbage slaw. Worked out great! Everybody really liked this recipe. I put the uncooked noodles in the bowl in the morning and served the salad the evening, and the noodles weren’t crunch at all. I think I would have rather of had them crunch so I will add just an hour or so before serving. I think some fresh cilantro would have been a nice addition too. Great recipe though!
-
This recipe is ALWAYS a hit! I substitue sliced almonds for the peanuts…
-
I thought this was very tasty. I don’t like crunchy noodles, so I soaked them in warm water for 15 minutes, drained, and then added to the remaining ingredients. I may add more shredded carrot next time, for color and nutritional value.
-
Very good! I used slivered almonds instead of peanuts and I added about a cup of raisins as well. Good stuff!
-
Love it… crunchy & great flavor!
-
ALWAYS A WINNER. Everytime I make this, many people ask for the recipe. Thanks!
-
I used regular coleslaw mix instead of broccoli coleslaw and sliced almonds instead of peanuts. This is best when you keep the slaw/green onion mixture, the sunflower seeds/almonds/ramen noodles mixture and the dressing separate until serving time (much better when it’s crunchy, but it’s still pretty good when the noodles and nuts get soggy). It will stay somewhat crunchy for about 12 hours after mixing together. SO good!
-
Wow, this salad is so easy and delicious. My husband is very picky about food and rarely likes a salad, but he enjoyed this. I took it to a party at work and was asked by many for the recipe.
-
If I hadn’t tasted this recipe made by someone else first, I’d have been seriously sceptical about the uncooked Ramen noodles. But, honestly, you DON’T cook them! Just break them up and toss them in. It’s supposed to add crunch to the salad. Some alternate versions of this recipe saute the noodles in butter but that’s just to add flavor not to soften them. The dressing will be absorbed by the noodles.
-
Cut down on the ramen seasoning a bit, but it turned out GREAT!! Even good the next day! Turned out just like what those awesome moms bring to Graduation parties.
-
This was good but I have to agree that the dressing seemed to be missing something. I added some soy sauce, crushed garlic, fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro to give this salad a bit of an extra “kick”. It got rave reviews!
-
I love this recipe! I always make it for showers and pot-lucks. Everyone loves it because it’s so different. I do not cook the noodles, I love how it’s crunchy! Thanks for sharing!
-
I use only 12oz bag of coleslaw mix and no peanuts or sunflower seeds. Tasted great, however next time I will use less sugar (little too sweet to my taste) and oil to reduce calories. Thanks
-
Great recipe! I used the Oriental Flavor Ramen Noddles instead. It adds it a great flavor to it. Also I used Wine vinegar and little less sugar as suggested by other reviewers. I have also used 3 packs of Splenda or Equal.
-
This is a very good recipe. I used coleslaw instead of broccoli slaw.
-
This recipe gets rave reviews whenever I serve it. So easy to make and a great change from regular slaw. I add dried cranberries to mine. Also change type of nuts for great varied taste.
-
i used olive oil and garlic flavored rice vinegar, and i add sliced almonds, lots of toasted sesame seeds, and sesame oil.. add the noodles at the last minute… excellent every time
-
I love the crunchy texture of this salad. I reduced the sunflower seeds to 1/2 cup and used 1/2 cup slivered almonds instad of the peanuts. Even the kids love this one.
-
This is a great salad. The noodles are not meant to be cooked, but it really depends on your own preference. I like them crunchy. The only thing I do differently is to use toasted almonds instead of peanuts and rainbow salad, because it has cauliflower added to the mix.
-
This got RAVE reviews from all who tried it. Highly recommend adding dressing, onions, nuts to taste as it calls for alot in my opinion. Add noodles before serving so they are crunchy. Awesome!
-
love this recipe. It is always requested at our family gatherings. I often add fresh broccoli.
-
This is the best salad to take to potluck!!! I am always asked for the recipe!!!
-
Great salad! Didn’t have the green onions so substituted red and it was great! I had been looking for a broccoli salad with this exact flavor after having it at a Christmas party once. Thank you, thank you!
