Ingredients

16 oz Broccoli Slaw the one I buy has broccoli, carrots and red cabbage
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder or a little more if you like more garlic
3 ounces Beef Ramen noodles 1 package, broken into pieces
½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup roasted sunflower seeds you can use ¼ cup if you'd like
Optional: the seasoning pack from the ramen noodles can be added to the dressing mixture if you'd like. I used to do this but don't anymore because of some of the ingredients.

Instructions

Pour the package of broccoli slaw in a large mixing bowl.
16 oz Broccoli Slaw
Mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar and garlic powder in a dish.
¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Add the broken up Ramen Noodles, almonds and sunflower seeds.
3 ounces Beef Ramen noodles, ½ cup sliced almonds, ½ cup roasted sunflower seeds
Pour the dressing mixture over and stir until completely mixed.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

1. Use apple cider vinegar instead of balsamic vinegar. Or even a red wine vinegar.

1. Swap the sunflower seeds for pumpkin seeds or chopped walnuts or pecans.

1. Add a few dried cranberries or raisins for a touch of sweetness.

1. Add in sliced red or green bell pepper or sliced green onion.

1. Swap the olive oil for toasted sesame oil for extra flavor.

1. You can completely skip making your own dressing and use a bottle of your favorite classic coleslaw dressing. A honey mustard or a citrus vinaigrette would also be a great swap.

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This slaw does not freeze well due to the fresh vegetables. It is best enjoyed fresh.
