NOTES : While some people like this salad soggy, I personally greatly prefer it when the ramen and nuts are crunchy. I often make a full recipe of this, then put the chopped cabbage, crunchy parts, dressing, and chicken in separate ziplock or rubbermaid containers. If I'm taking it to a family get-together, I mix it up just before we sit down. If just for my own family, I only mix up the part we'll be sure to finish that night and save the rest for another meal. MC formatted 11/15/96 by rooby@...
