I found this Japanese Salad recipe in a fundraising recipe book from a small town in Saskatchewan. Fundraising recipe books are usually packed full of great family recipes. There are quite a few steps in preparing this salad but trust me – it’s worth every minute of preparation! It’s a great way to eat your daily dose of vegetables too. This is a perfect dish for a potluck, a summer BBQ or any family meal. Try to wait to put on the dressing until right before you serve it.
Japanese Salad Recipe:
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 bag broccoli coleslaw
- 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- .5 cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds, unsalted
- 1 package Ichiban noodles, broken
- Dressing:
- 1 season package from Ichiban noodles
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tsp soya sauce
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Toast almonds & sesame seeds in 350F oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove, set aside and add remaining ingredients.
- Mix all dressing ingredients together and pour over salad.
- TIP: Wait until right before the salad is served before adding the dressing.

We had this with barbecued ribs and stuffed potatoes and it was very tasty! I will definately be making it again. My only question is do you add in the 2 full cups of green onion? It seemed a bit much to me, so I only did about 1 cup and also added in some julienned red pepper.

Hello Chantelle! Oh my goodness, 2 cups of onions would be a lot! Thank you for pointing that out to me – it should actually say “.5 cup”. I do like green onions but not enough for two cups in the salad. {wink} I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
