One time, my husband and I were enjoying lunch at Crater Lake Lodge when my entrée came with a side of coleslaw. My husband knows I don't like coleslaw but he insisted I try it. I made horrible awful face that the lodge manager noticed and came over to see if everything was ok. I explained my dislike for coleslaw and he came back with a side of green salad.

[/caption]Fast forward five years and in my CSA basket I'm presented a head of cabbage. Last year, I gave cabbage away each time but my friend Linda wouldn't take the whole head. Instead she suggested that I make crunchy Chinese cabbage salad with my Trader Joe's Island Soyaki. This particular Soyaki I often use as a marinade and salad dressing (mandarin oranges tastes yummy with this sauce) . It's a staple in our house. I tell you, if we ever move, one of the requirements will be that there has to be a Trader Joe's in that city. I can't live without that place.
Time to improvise. I did a little research on google and came up with this fabulous recipe!
Shannon's Crunchy Chinese Cabbage Salad
1/2 head of Cabbage
2 green onions
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/2 cup Trader Joe's Island Soyaki
1 package chicken flavored ramen noodles
Chop the head of cabbage into thin strips.
Chop the green onions and combine with cabbage in a large bowl.
Add almonds and toss Trader Joe's Island Soyaki.
Right before serving, add one package of crushed up ramen noodles.
Enjoy!

There's a lot of salt in Campell's Soup, so if you want to try it, I would definitely suggest diluting it, and then adding either rice or even stale bread to thicken it.
