Ingredients
Scale
Slaw Mix
- 1 (12-oz) broccoli slaw mix
- ¾ cup chopped green onions
- ½ cup salted sunflower seeds
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 1 (3-oz) package ramen noodles, divided
Dressing
- ½ cup canola oil
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- Ramen seasoning packet (from the ramen noodle package)
Instructions
- Combine the salad ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the broccoli slaw mix, chopped green onions, salted sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, and half of the ramen noodles crushed. This creates the crunchy base for your slaw.
- Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the canola oil, sugar, white wine vinegar, and the ramen seasoning packet until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well mixed.
- Mix and season: Pour the dressing over the broccoli slaw mixture and toss everything thoroughly to coat the ingredients evenly. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Chill and serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the slaw until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld together and the noodles to crisp slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute canola oil with another neutral oil such as vegetable or grapeseed oil if preferred.
- For extra crunch, add more crushed ramen noodles just before serving.
- Keep the slaw refrigerated and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- This recipe is easily doubled for larger gatherings.
- Feel free to add other nuts or seeds if you want to customize the texture and flavor.
