Asian Cole Slaw

Here's a new salad I made for our tailgating feast.

1 cup olive oil

1 cup red wine vinegar

1/4-ounce minced garlic

1/4-ounce minced ginger

1/2 packet ramen oriental seasoning

Pinch salt

Pinch ground black pepper

1/2 head napa cabbage, sliced 1/8-inch thick

1/4 head red cabbage, sliced 1/8-inch thick

1/2 head green cabbage, sliced 1/8-inch thick

2 red onions, julienne

2 carrots, peeled and shaved

1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

2 ramen noodle bunches, broken into small pieces

24 fried wonton skins (optional

3/4 cup finely chopped Spanish peanuts, for garnish

In large plastic ziploc combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, ramen seasoning, a tiy bit of the cilantro, salt and pepper. Shake well to incorporate.

Mix the cabbages, onions, carrots, cilantro, and ramen noodles in another large ziploc. Whisk the dressing and add to the salad 10 minutes prior to serving. Toss thoroughly.

Put equal portions of the dressed cabbage on the wonton skins, and garnish with the chopped peanuts. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
