Nut Free Asian Ramen Noodle Salad
6 servings
25 min
Two of my three children have a severe nut allergy, so adapting recipes to be nut-free has always been routine for me in order to feed my family. This is a classic recipe that makes a great dish to bring to a potluck bbq or weekend picnic. It travels really well. Just remember to assemble at your destination. Otherwise, the crunchy bits will get soggy. Admittedly, I love adding in slivered almonds or crushed peanuts because of the flavour, but never when my kids are around. I have also added canned mandarin oranges or avocado too, for some added flavour. This is a very adaptable salad.
