Cook's Tips:

This is a great make-ahead side dish or app. Mix it up without the nuts or ramen up to 2 days ahead of time, cover and add the ramen and nuts when you’re ready.

Dried cranberries add a bit of sweetness and some tart flavor. If you don’t have them or you aren’t a fan, raisins work as well!

Try using the dressing for a coleslaw. Mix it up and toss with a bag of coleslaw mix or cut up your own cabbage and grated carrot.

Try this with Korintje Cinnamon for even more cinnamon flavor.
