If you prefer not to use an oven, you can toast the noodles in a skillet.

The dressing can be made 2-3 days ahead of time if it’s stored in an airtight container or jar with a lid and properly sealed. Shake or whisk up before using.

Do not make the mistake of using the ramen noodle seasoning packet or it will throw off the natural flavors in this salad.

Although leftovers will last about 24 hours, this salad is best consumed immediately for the best flavor and texture.

If making ahead, store the dressing and the toasted noodles separate from the salad. Combine everything right before serving. This way everything will stay nice and crunchy!
