Asian-Style Ramen Broccoli Slaw

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Sliced almonds can be substituted for the sunflower seeds if desired, all ingredients can be adjusted to taste. You may make this complete salad well in advance, just add in the Ramen noodles just before serving. This complete recipe may be doubled, For the 5 cups broccoli slaw I usually double the dressing ingredients ;-)

This was yummy! We ate it all that night and I had to make another batch for the next day. Thanks, Kittencal!

I would have never tried this recipe on my own from the sounds of it, but I tried this at a party and I'm hooked. I make this twice a month as a variation from green salads. It is delicious and addictive!

This was made and enjoyed using shredded Nappa cabbage and the rice wine vinegar. The seasoning packets for the noodles are very high in sodium so I did opt to leave that off and added salt and pepper to taste. This recipe is very versatile and one that I will try again using the broccoli slaw mix.
