Chicken Oriental Salad

Here we are at BBQ season again, and we always need to take a salad of some sort.  If your like me, I get sick of bringing the same salad every time, so here is a new yummy one to tack onto your list!  I got this recipe from my Aunt at least 12 years ago, and I still come back to it time and time again!!!
You'll want to chop your cabbage into small pieces like this:


 And mix all your ingredients together for your sauce:
Throw everything into a bowl like this:
 Give it a whirl, and Bam!!  You get this!!!  Yummy!!


Salad:
1/2 Head Cabbage
1/2 Cup Sliced almonds
2 Green Onions - chopped
1 Package Chicken Ramon Noodles
2 Chicken Breast- Cooked and cubed

Sauce:
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Tblsp Red Wine Vinegar
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1/8 tsp Salt
1 Chicken Ramon Noodle Seasoning Packet
Start with Grilling your Chicken Breast on a grill or stove top, or I use my George Foreman a lot!  Cube it up and throw it in the fridge to cool off.  You can do this ahead of time to make things easier.  Now for the Ramon Noodles.  Some people throw their noodles in the salad hard, but I personally do NOT like it that way.  My little trick to get the perfect texture is to get a small sauce pan and get your water boiling.  Break up your package into chunks and throw them in the boiling water for 20 seconds.  Hurry and drain the water, break it up a little more and throw that in the fridge with the chicken as well. It seriously is worth the yummy texture!!
Then start chopping away at your cabbage & onions.  Throw in your almonds.  Then add your cooled chicken and ramon noodles.   In a bowl add all of your sauce ingredients and stir with a whisk until combined.  If you want to get real techy then throw the sauce ingredients in a blender then it will REALLY blend.  Just dump it over your salad and stir until well combined.
