Ramen Crunch Salad with Turkey

It’s the salad that kids and adults both love. 

My kids are obsessed with Ramen Noodles. If it was up to them they would eat these noodles every single day for breakfast, lunch and supper. However, since they have a mom, their life isn’t that much fun.

When it comes to Shabbos and Yom Tov, though, I love making them this salad from Kids Cooking Made Easy. Yes it’s so easy, you can get the kids to actually prepare the salad components before Shabbos and then you’ve got yourself a great appetizer or salad with the main dish.

It’s sweet, tangy, and it has the crunch they love. It’s also the perfect salad for teenage boys that don’t love salad and also great for everyone else who does.
