I'm in love with this salad! My mom gave me the recipe and she told me that it is from California. I'm really not sure of that, so I call it Brazilian "California" Salad. (We don't eat here cabbage with sweet and sour sauce, so it is kind of "exotic" for us. Maybe that's why the "California" name"...) It's good for parties, because one recipe serves 8 to 10 people, is very easy to do and stays well in the fridge for up to 4 days if you have leftovers...
Brazilian "California" Salad
Ingredients
1 medium cabbage head, sliced thin
1 cup (or lots!) of parsley and green onions, chopped
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 cup ground pecans
about 6 oz (2 packages) of instant noodle (ramen), without the flavor sachet, uncooked and crushed
For the sauce:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tsp salt
Preparation:
In a big bowl, mix together the cabbage, parsley and green onions, sesame seeds and pecans. Mix all the sauce ingredients. Pour over the salad, stirring well to combine the sauce with the dry ingredients. Then add the crushed noodles. (Don't use the flavor sachet!!) If you like the salad very crispy, serve at once. Or let stay some time in the refrigerator to blend the flavors.
