Hello,

i have looked all over Google for a good recipe for this and can't find
one.

i have been asked to make this dish for 25 people so i really need a
"tried and true" recipe!

What about those Ramen noodle Asian salads? Any good?

Thanks to all.

I often make a salad using Napa cabbage instead of iceberg lettuce.
The ingredient amounts I give here will definitely make nice sized (1
cup) servings for 25 people.

To one large Napa that you will leaf-by-leaf cut the wider core out
of, slice the leaves 1-1/2" wide;

add 1" slices of two heads of Romaine, tear the longer slices in
half,

1 entire container of micro- steamed edamame* shelled and slipped,

2 small bags of whole snow peas, raw, vein-stripped and cut in half,

2-3 little baskets of whole Pearl tomatoes (or 2 of Cherry toms to cut
in half),

four stalks of celery sliced 1/4" wide,

1 medium carrot, peeled and thin sliced,

1 small fennel bulb, stalks cut off to just use the bulb, sliced very
thin and also chopped,

1 seedless cucumber sliced 1/4" thick,

up to 1 cup of toasted pine nuts,

and a side bowl of those fried rice noodles guests can top their own
salad servings with should anyone care to.

Last, I would not make my own dressing (unless a trusted someone here
or google offers a good recipe), just buy a good size bottle of
Oriental salad dressing to toss the salad with just before serving
time.

*Whole Edamame are simple soy beans that grow in a pod like other
beans or peas do. There are micro-cook instructions on the
container. Prepare these first, and when cooked, run cold water over
them until quite cool, then peal the outer pod off and you will find
that many of the beans will also have an individual, thin clear
covering that you will also tear off and pop or slip the bean out of.
Cooked and still firm, completely naked beans are what you want to end
up with.
