Sweet and Sour Oriental Cole Slaw




An easy and delicious summer salad that is just a little different take on a classic Coleslaw.  I just keep adding and adding more tasty ingredients to make this dish even better.

Sweet and Sour Oriental Coleslaw

1 package(14 oz) Dole Classic Coleslaw
8 oz bean sprouts
1 bunch scallions, sliced thin
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 can pineapple chunks in pineapple juice, drained reserve juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 package of Ramen Noodles Oriental Flavor

Combine Coleslaw, sprouts, scallions, almonds, sesame seeds, and pineapple in a large bowl.
Mix oil, vinegar, reserved pineapple juice and Ramen Noodle flavoring package in a small bowl.
Pour over Coleslaw, tossing until coated.  Crush ramen noodles until in small pieces; add to salad and toss again.

Enjoy!

I make this pasta dish from a recipe in the current, March 2011, Bon Appetit issue. Very rich in taste with the addition of heavy cream, but I think not all calories are the same. You feel more satisfied from delicious calories then junk calories. So skip processed and junk food in favor of a wonderful meal. And remember portion control is always an option to cutting calories. www.bonappetit.com Enjoy

Why "Good Dinner Mrs Mellen"

The idea for a blog called "Good Dinner Mrs Mellen" came from my family. My family was always complementing me on my cooking, not only the food but my presentation.

Oh, and to all my friends that are reading this and think I'm going to blog about clothes, this is not about my love of clothes and fashion. (that would take a whole new long blog to cover that topic. I do love clothes and fashion!!!...

I can't help myself I have to blog about shopping!!

Alright I said that I wasn't going to blog about shopping on Good Dinner Mrs Mellen, I lied.  I can't help myself!  If you know me, you know that I love to shop and shop and shop and shop.  I just love clothes, home furnishing, cosmetic, you name it I'm there.  Well I just had to share my most recent shopping finds.  I believe in when the President says that we need to stimulate the economy so I spread my purchased around to all types of retailers.  High end, discount, I do not discriminate.  If I like it I buy it. I get such a rush when I find a bargain or exceptional deal, I just get so warm and fuzzy.  Last week I was up in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. A beautiful natural resource that just takes my breath away.  So in between the beautiful mountains, forest, lakes etc what should appear a few years ago but a T.J. Maxx in, of all places, Littleton New Hampshire.  Now Littleton is a lovely small town that has actually m...
