Asian Slaw

My parents' neighbor and dear friend, Marilyn, brought this salad over 7 or 8 years ago and I about fell into the bowl. I made it over Easter and thought I'd share it here because I about fell into the bowl again. I could make an entire meal out of it and if you want protein - just add chicken.

I'm sure various versions are floating around Pinterest, but anytime Marilyn shares a dish, I know I need look no further.

In my mind, Ramen is broke college kid food - at 10 for $1.00, it was all I could afford so it brings back fond memories when I make this salad. And yes, DH likes this too. 😊

On Good Friday I fixed this salad, grilled salmon, sliced a tomato, added an avocado and that was dinner and it paired perfectly with our Easter Ham on Sunday. We also love it with anything we grill.

Asian Slaw

3 packages beef flavored Ramen noodle mix (use 3 pkgs seasoning and 2 pkgs noodles)
2 (8.5 oz) package slaw mix ) Broccoli Slaw
1 C sliced almonds, toasted
1 C sunflower seed kernals
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 C sugar
3/4 C + 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/3 C + 2 Tbsp white vinegar

* Remove flavor packets from packages, set aside. Crush 2 packets of noodles into bottom of a large bowl. Top with slaw mix. Sprinkle with almonds, sunflower seed kernals, and green onions.
Whisk together seasoning packets, sugar, oil, and vinegar. Pour over slaw. Mix. Cover and chill 24 hours. Toss before serving. Go back for seconds! Yum!

So easy. You could probably just use 2 packets of Ramen so you wouldn't have extra noodles left, but I think that 3rd seasoning packet makes a difference. I just pour hot water over those extra noodles and serve it to the chickens...they love it!
