Broccoli Slaw Salad With Ramen Noodles

Submitted by PsychoCasseroleStep

"This sweet, crunchy salad uses bagged broccoli slaw as a base so it is very quick to put together. For best results you should refrigerate for about 6 hours prior to serving to soften the noodles so make sure to plan ahead and make it the night before or first thing in the morning."
