How to Make Chicken Noodle Slaw

  1. **Prep the Noodles:** Gently crush ramen noodles in their packaging to break them into smaller pieces. Separate any large clumps.
  2. **Combine Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine 1 (14 oz) bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix (or 8 cups shredded cabbage and 2 cups shredded carrots), 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken, 2 packages of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets), 1 (8 oz) can of water chestnuts (drained), 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup sliced green olives, and 2 (11 oz) cans mandarin orange segments (drained). Set aside.
  3. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 ramen seasoning packets, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. **Dress the Slaw:** Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss gently to coat.
  5. **Add Creamy Element:** In another small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons milk. Gently stir this mixture into the slaw.
  6. **Chill & Serve:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or up to 8 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to chill. Serve cold and enjoy!
