Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you’ve been to a potluck any time in the last 15 years, you’ve probably had some version of this delicious Broccoli Ramen Noodle Salad.
And there’s a good reason for that! It’s a super simple salad to throw together, can be made ahead, and is always one of the first dishes to disappear when I bring it anywhere.
There are so many versions of this ramen noodles salad out there, but this one, with it’s assortment of crunchy vegetables, is my all time favorite.
Of course, you don’t have to the veggies listed in the recipe, so feel free to use up whatever you have in your refrigerator.
And while many ramen noodle salads call for toasted almonds to add some crunch, I’m kind of partial to the salty, toasty sunflower seeds in this version.
Like any good potluck dish, this salad serves a crowd, so if you’re just making it as a side for your weeknight dinner, you might want to half the recipe.
Just make sure you don’t discard the seasoning packets from your noodles. They actually go into the dressing and add tons of flavor to this salad.
You do need to allow this salad to rest in the refrigerator for a few hours to soften the noodles, so you’ll need to do a little bit of planning ahead.
Other than that, this is one of the easiest, most unique, delicious salad recipes you’ll ever make. No tedious chopping of ingredients required.
If you are looking for something a little different to bring to your next potluck or neighborhood party, I highly recommend this Broccoli Ramen Noodle Salad.
