    This salad has been around for years...I made it all the time in college (and that was in the late 80's..yikes! But I have some adjustmenst that I know will make some of the below complaints go away: cut the oil down 1/2 or so and replace some of it with sesame oil or better yet, sesame chili oil. Use rice wine vinegar and some ponzu instead of red wine vinegar and add a teaspoon of suger or some artificial sweetner. Using bagged cabbage works just fine if your strapped for time...and replace the strong red onions with sliced green onions. I use toasted sliced almonds instead of peanuts and throw on a can of drained mandarin oranges. The wonton skins aren't needed and just toss the top ramen in and mix right before serving. It gets gobbled up instantly! To make it more hearty add shredded chicken...yum! I'm making it to take to a superbowl party...its a hit every time!

    I've brought this salad to 3 events. All 3 times it was a hit. And my kids like it too, which goes a long way with me. This one's on my "favorite potluck stand-bys" list for any party.
