Healthy Ramen Noodle Salad Recipe<\/h2>\n

I have a confession to make: I love those packages of Ramen noodles, the staple of college dorm room fare. Perhaps it’s from my days working as a copywriter for a small in-house agency. At 10 a.m. sharp each morning, the roach coach (food truck) would roll into the parking lot, and the team would troop down four flights of stairs, rain or shine, cold or heat, to buy coffee and snacks. My friend and I would buy cups of Ramen noodle soup, which served as breakfast and lunch on those days when my wallet contained about a dollar’s worth of coins and my car ran on gasoline fumes. I loved my work, really loved the team I worked with, but lived on not just a shoestring budget – a broken shoestring poorly tied with bakery twine, so to speak.<\/p>\n

So perhaps on days when I’m really busy with copywriting work from my agency, Seven Oaks Consulting<\/a>, that old craving for Ramen noodles kicks in as a little taste bud reminder of good times past. It’s like hey, remember those days? You dreamed about doing this for a living…and now you are…and isn’t it wonderful?<\/p>\n

I usually pile my hot Ramen noodle with cheese to make an impromptu mac and cheese, but the calories really pile up. I realized today that I have a bowl of fresh garden peas in the fridge. Why not, I thought, make a vegetable-Ramen noodle salad, a healthy Ramen noodle salad that uses plenty of fresh vegetables and my favorite noodle?<\/p>\n
