Crunchy Ramen Chicken Salad

A lunchtime classic to leave you satisfied without feeling stuffed

Coach Taylor here! I grew up with my mom making this for us, and to this day it remains one of my favorite nostalgic easy-to-prep meals.

This crunchy ramen chicken salad is far from boring and satisfies those sweet, salty, crunchy cravings that tend to sneak up mid day. You can have it ready in less than 15 minutes and saves well if you serve the dressing as you eat it.

We serve with a homemade dressing but you can easily grab a store bought vinaigrette or your favorite Asian-inspired sauce to spice this up! I hope you enjoy this as much I do!
