Asian Cabbage Slaw used to show up at our house almost weekly. There are tons of names for this popular potluck favorite. Chinese Ramen Noodle Salad, Asian Noodle Salad…Asian Ramen Noodle Salad.

No matter what you call it, it’s seriously delicious. It has the perfect balance of salty, sour, sweet and spicy.

My mom used to make this often when we were younger. This simple side dish was one of our favorites and goes perfect with just about any dish. The best part is, it comes together super quick and you can easily customize it with anything you like or have on hand.

Recipe for Asian Cabbage Slaw

The essential ingredients are shredded crispy cabbage, carrots, cucumbers and a sweet mango.

Throw in some shelled edamame, ramen noodles and sliced almonds for that nice crunch.

Mix everything together with the refreshing and flavorful Asian/citrus dressing and loaded with fresh herbs. It’s a great dish for using up some leftover protein – we had turkey the night before so that’s what I used but feel free to use what you like or have on hand.

See? Super easy to throw together. Plus, you don’t have to worry about keeping it refrigerated. It’s best served cold but also tastes great at room temperature.

Shredded cabbage salads are awesome because they hold up well after being tossed with dressing.
