Mad Hatter Salad
Mad Hatter Salad |When bringing the same old coleslaw just isn’t enough. This salad coleslaw is simply the best! Full of fresh vegetables with sautéed nuts and top ramen noodles. Deliciously covered with a sweet dressing. Great for family, church or barbecue gatherings.
This is a sturdy salad, so taking it to potlucks makes perfect sense. It also serves 12 people which is great for a group meal. The flavors of this salad get better with time as the noodles and other ingredients absorb the delicious dressing. For a complete meal also make Onion Dip Burgers, Southern Beans and for dessert Mom’s Peach Cobbler.

I see you added sugar. Does that make it very sweet?
My mother in law use to make a dish she called Sumi Salad that is somewhat similar.
I think I would like to try this one thought.

Hi Donna,
No this salad is not sweet the vinegar cuts through the sweetness from the sugar. VERY tasty though. 🙂

Have made this several times, my family loves it! Making it tomorrow for Easter with prime rib!
I’m going to try to make a healthier version with out the ramen and sugar. Otherwise it sounds really yummy.
I have been able to get my husband to eat coleslaw who never liked cabbage. What a great tasting side dish>>
I made the salad as written but I served the dressing and topping on the side so people could add their own depending on if they have sodium issues, sugar issues, etc. I also served sliced, baked chicken breast on the side and fresh mandarin oranges and that made a complete meal. Dressing and toppings are delicious
