This week’s recipe is one of Matthew’s family favorites. They served it at all of their graduation parties and I made it for his sister’s welcome home party last weekend. This was my first time making it, and it was just as easy as it sounds. I used red cabbage instead of green, because I thought it would give it a bright and cheery look. It did.

Sumi Salad

Dressing:

• ¼ cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ¾ cup Oil (not Olive, I would try Grapeseed)
• 6 tablespoons Rice Vinegar

Salad Ingredients:

• ¼ cup sliced or slivered Almonds
• ¼ cup Sesame Seeds
• 8 Green Onions, finely chopped
• 2 3oz package Ramen Noodles, crunched up a bit (uncooked, do not use flavor packet that comes with the noodles)
• 1 head Red Cabbage finely chopped or shredded

Combine the dressing ingredients in a large bowl (I used a four quart Pyrex) and whisk together. Add the salad ingredients and mix well. Chill and then mix again before serving.

This is super simple, but very tasty. I heard that it is hard to find cabbage recipes, so I am glad to have this one. Will you try to make it?
