Ramen Noodle Salad (version 2)

My husband loves ramen noodle salad. Our pastor’s wife makes it often for potlucks and C.J. always comes home raving about it, so when he requested it (which NEVER happens), I started putting together a recipe that was both easy and tasty.

This salad was not initially on the April meal plan, but we added it to our Easter weekend menu. It was a wonderful pairing with the pork tenderloin that we made!

There is no protein in this version of the salad, but you could easily add chicken to it to make it more than just a side dish.
