Chinese Cabbage Salad

Nonna made this one Christmas, and it was an immediate favorite. It is great for pot-lucks; I always get requests for the recipe.

1 Head Cabbage, shredded
8 Tbsp.  Sesame Seed
2 Pkg. Ramen Noodles, crushed (I just pound the pkg with a wooden spoon before I open it! Save the seasoning packs for use in another recipe; I use them to flavor rice.) 
8 tsp. Sliced Almonds
8 tsp. Sliced Green Onions

Brown almonds and sesame seeds in a small amount of butter. Mix cabbage and onions in a large bowl. Just before serving, add sesame seeds, almonds, noodles, and toss with dressing.

Dressing:  Mix all ingredients in a jar and shake.
2 Tbsp. Sugar
½ Cup Oil
3/4 tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Accent
3 Tbsp. Rice Vinegar
