Chinese Chicken Salad

I got this recipe from my friend Crystal and I really like it, it's such a nice, light but tasty meal, especially love it during the summer months when it's hot. It also makes a great side salad to take to parties. Last time I made it, it went fast!

1 head green cabbage (sliced thinly/shredded)
3 green onions, chopped
1 can mandarin oranges
1/2 bunch cilantro (I love cilantro but have actually never had it when I've made this but I think it'd be yummy with it!)
4 cooked chicken breasts (I NEVER use as much meat as the recipe calls for, usually I only do 1 chicken breast)
1 pkg Oriental Ramen Soup (we usually just have pork so I use that and it seems to work fine, so probably whatever flavor you have would be okay)
1 pkg frozen peas, thaws (I just add some, not necessarily measured or a full package)
1/2 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Dressing (add just before serving):
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
6 T. rice vinegar
1 packet Oriental Soup Seasoning

Directions: Combine all items for salad and toss. Just before serving, whisk together ingredients for dressing. Toss together and serve.
