BROCCOLI SLAW

I originally got this recipe from a neighbor years and years ago when she brought it to a cookout we were hosting. I couldn’t get enough of it! The added crunchiness of the ramen noodles and sliced almonds completely sold me.

The only broccoli slaw I have ever had (growing up a Southern girl) was made with mayo and raisins. Not that I didn’t love it, but this version made with balsamic vinegar is just SO good!

This recipe is very quick to make! If you want to make it more of a “meal”, adding this Italian grilled chicken to it is fabulous, too, by the way!

INGREDIENTS

1 16 oz bag of Broccoli Slaw (the one I buy has broccoli, carrots and red cabbage)

1/4 cup of olive oil

1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar

1 TBSP of sugar

1 tsp of garlic powder (or a little more if you like more garlic)

1 package of Beef Ramen noodles, broken into pieces

1/2 cup of sliced almonds

1/4 – 1/2 cup of roasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (I like more of the 1/2 cup)

Optional: the seasoning pack from the ramen noodles can be added to the dressing mixture if you’d like.

DIRECTIONS

1. Pour the package of broccoli slaw in a large mixing bowl.

2. Mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar and garlic powder in a dish.

3. Add the broken up Ramen Noodles, almonds and sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
