Ramen Noodle Cabbage Salad – Ramen Coleslaw

So back to how weird this recipe can seem. Trust me, I know. I first tried this at a work potluck about 15 years ago. The man who brought it in, well let’s just say he was a bit of a character. I thought he was out of his mind when he served up coleslaw with crunchy ramen noodles in it. But thankfully I’ll try anything once even a suspicious looking salad from a questionable fellow. This isn’t exactly like Glen’s Chinese Cabbage Salad with Ramen Noodles, it is my version of Glen’s salad. Thanks for the inspo, Glen. . . I’m sorry I doubted you 😆
