I apologize, because this recipe might very well be in here somewhere, but I'm not that computer literate to perform a search right now!
I tried a salad last week, Oriental Cabbage Salad. The only problem was that it had a lot of oil in it. It had shredded cabbage, sunflower seeds, and a package of Ramen Oriental noodles in it. You then mixed the veggie oil with the seasoning packet and poured it over top. Does anyone have a healthier version of this salad? It was really yummy, but I would like it to be a bit lighter.
I haven't personally tried this recipe but thought it might be something along the lines of what you are looking for.

Oriental Salad
1 package ramen noodles, broken
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup FF Italian dressing (if possible get a low sodium variety since the seasoning package is already quite salty)
2 teaspoons honey
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 seasoning packet from ramen noodles
In large bowl, combine raw noodles, shredded cabbage, chopped onions, & sunflower seeds.
For dressing, mix Italian dressing, honey and lemon juice. Add seasoning from packet and mix well. Add to salad and toss well.
Thank you SO MUCH! This is exactly what I was hoping for. The original recipe I had called for 1/2 CUP of veggie oil. UGH! I can't wait to make this on the weekend.
I make a version of this salad as well, and eat for lunch almost every day.
