Asian Ramen Noodle Salad
I can't tell you how much I love this salad. There is just something about the crunch of the shaved brussels sprouts, the sesame oil, the toasted almonds and then the pop of the sweetness of the mandarin oranges. The longer the salad sits in the refrigerator the softer the crunchy ramen noodles will become.If you like a crunchier noodle, don't let the salad rest too long.
