Asian Style Cole Slaw

Everybody needs a great vegetable side that doesn't need to be reheated and can be pretty much assembled in advance.

Ingredients:

Slaw:

2 packages of prepared Cole slaw

3 green onions, thinly sliced

“Crunchies”:

1 package of ramen noodles (I like oriental flavor), crumbled

½ cup sliced almonds

½ cup sunflower seeds

Dressing:

The seasoning packet from the ramen noodles

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar (more or less to taste)

½ cup rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar in a pinch)

½ cup canola oil

½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Pinch of salt (optional)

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the crumbled noodles, almonds and sunflower seeds on the baking sheet and bake until just golden (about 12 minutes). Remove, cool and set aside until ready to serve.

Mix the slaw and the green onions together and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Combine all the dressing ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

When meal time comes, combine the slaw, crunchies and dressing together.
