looking for recipe for asian salad that has chopped cabbage, small rotini, raisins, peanuts or cashews?

Here is a recipe my family used for years. Very easy and quick.

Cut your cabbage up in small pieces. You can add some onions if you like. You'll need a package of beef flavored Ramen noodles. For the vinaigrette, use the season packet from the noodles, add 2 TBL apple cider vinegar, 2 TBL water, and 2 TBL oil and mix well. I usually taste it then to see if I need a little more of one of the ingredients. Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture and let chill. Right before you serve it crunch up the Ramen noodles, bake them, and let them cool and put them on top. Like you said, you can put raisins, peanuts, etc in the salad as well.

make the vinaigrette with a bit of ginger and garlic, rice wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, soy and sesame oil. salt to taste. stir with one grated, green (not ripe!) papaya.

put the cabbage and pasta in a bowl with the other stuff you want. add the appropriate amount of the dressing mix, and toss it all.

I would add nicely sliced red pepper also. You could also throw in some soy/sesame oil marinaded chicken breast.

This is a Pacific rim recipe, given the papaya. You could also fry some plantains, and if you add the grilled chicken as a warm part of the salad, it would be a meal.

Bleeegh don't like Peanut Butter. I prefer Trollnut Butter
