ZESTY CABBAGE SALAD

1 head of cabbage, shredded *  **                1 small to medium diced onion
2 to 3 cups cooked, diced chicken breast       4 teaspoons sesame seeds
4 oz. slivered almonds                                 2 tablespoons sugar
2 packages chicken flavored, dry Ramen      1 bottle of zesty Italian dressing
   noodles broken into small pieces

Broil chicken breast in several cups of water. Add salt and Pepper if desired.
Allow the chicken to cool, drain and then dice into small, bite sized pieces.
Wash the head of cabbage *** and drain. Shred cabbage by hand grater or
food processor. Add the onions, sesame seeds, almonds and sugar. Break the
Ramen noodles into small pieces. Add to the cabbage mixture and stir thoroughly.
Shake and add Italian dressing to your taste. **** Store in an air tight container
until serving time. Make several hours in advance for best flavor.

* This can be made a day ahead, refrigerated, and the flavor is enhanced.

** The perfect recipe for a family reunion. It makes a large quantity of salad.

*** It is important to wash all fresh produce thoroughly. There are many
      contaminants that could be present: bugs, insecticide, dirt, preservative,
      and bacteria.

**** Prior to serving time, taste the salad. Usually it will be necessary to add
        additional dressing as the noodles tend to absorb all the flavorings.
        Toss lightly.

Helpful Hint: 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon

Helpful Hint: Dice the chicken and onion on a cutting board to prevent cuts in the
                           counter top. Use the knife to rake the ingredients into the storage
                           container.
