One of the best thing’s about going to a summer potluck or picnic is all the delicious side dishes! From potato salad, to macaroni salad, to this delicious and light ramen noodle salad!
This ramen noodle salad is full of delicious crunchy ingredients, all tossed together and coated in an oil based salad dressing. This ramen noodle salad is perfect for a side dish at a summer bbq or potluck, or would be great for a lighter main dish as well, since its packed full of yummy shredded chicken.
This salad is bursting full of flavor with simple and delicious ingredients that everyone will love! I cut the amount of vegetable oil down from 2/3 to 1/3 because it still coats the salad well, and helps cut those calories out a little.
