CHINESE CABBAGE SALAD



~~~~
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 package ramon noodles, broken – minus the spice packet
1 small head  of cabbage, chopped or sliced fine
1 bunch green onions, sliced – green parts only
4 tablespoons Splenda
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt – or to taste
7 tablespoons rice wine vinegar – original
In a frying pan, over medium heat, melt the butter; saute the sesame seeds, almonds, and broken ramen noodles until golden brown.  Set aside to cool completely.
In a large bowl combine the cabbage and green onions.  In a blender or food processor emulsify the Splenda, pepper, oil, salt, and rice wine vinegar until creamy.  Pour over the cabbage and toss.  Add the sesame mixture and toss.  Add more salt to taste, if necessary.  Serve immediately.
