How to Prepare Crunchy Asian Cabbage Salad [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Place slivered almonds and crumbled ramen noodles on a baking sheet and roast for 5-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a large bowl add cabbage, edamame, scallions, mandarin oranges and red bell pepper.
Make sweet soy dressing by whisking all ingredients together.
When ready to serve, add almonds and ramen noodles to salad. Drizzle with dressing, toss to coat and enjoy!

Notes

1. The recipe for the sweet soy dressing makes more than enough! Add desired amount to salad and save the rest for later use! 2. For a gluten free version omit the noodles and add more almonds!
