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

Broccoli Salad

This is a favorite Christmas Holiday salad for it's color, but also a great pot-luck or company's coming salad because it makes a lot.

2 bunches of broccoli - chopped
1 small sweet red onion - chopped
1 cup sunflower meat (seeds)
1 cup raisins
3/4-1 # bacon - cooked and crumbled
2 oz. red pimento

Toss all ingredients together, stir in dressing (I usually use only half the dressing):
1 cup salad dressing (Miracle Whip)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
