Cabbage Crunch Salad

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

Flavor packet from ramen noodles

1/2 head of cabbage, shredded

4 green onions chopped

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

1 package ramen noodles, broken and uncooked

1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Red seedless grapes, as desired

In a blend or food processor combine vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, salt and flavor packet from ramen noodles. Pour over shredded cabbage. Add green onions and sesame seeds. Toss together. Just before serving add ramen noodles, almonds and red grapes.

Note: I don't usually put in the sesame seeds and I usually put in Craisins instead of grapes. Whatever I don't have to go to the store for.
