Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD
- 1 bag coleslaw salad
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- 3 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 packages ramen noodles setting aside flavor packets
FOR THE DRESSING
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 seasoning packets from ramen packages see note in instructions
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the coleslaw salad, onions, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds
- Open the ramen noodles packages just enough to get the seasoning packets out. Lightly crush noodles while in package with hands. If serving within a couple of hours, also add the ramen noodles. If not, set aside until later unless you want a soggier noodle.
- In a small bowl, add the ingredients for the dressing, and mix well. NOTE: add only one seasoning package and mix. Taste, and if needed, either add just half of the other package or all depending on preference in taste
- Add dressing to salad and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Serve chilled and enjoy
Notes
- - Make sure to use low sodium soy sauce, as regular plus the seasoning packets would be too much sodium.
- - Optional: Add slivered almonds, bean sprouts and/or broccoli
- - to make it a meal, add cooked chicken, beef or shrimp
