Broccoli Slaw

This was passed along to me from a friend who got it from a friend (you know the drill). It's a favorite in my family, and everyone seems to love it at cookouts and potlucks.

• Ready In: 8 hrs
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli slaw mix
• 2  packages  beef-flavor ramen noodles
• 1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 3⁄4 cup canola oil (or olive or vegetable oil)
• 1⁄2 cup sunflower seeds

Directions

1. In a large, non-metallic bowl, toss together the broccoli slaw and noodles; set aside.
2. In a separate (also non-metallic) bowl, combine the flavor packets from the ramen noodles with the vinegar, brown sugar and oil.
3. Using a whisk, blend together vey well; the mixture will thicken a little.
4. Pour over the slaw and noodles and toss to coat well.
5. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6. If possible, stir a few times before retiring for the evening.
7. Just before serving, add the sunflower kernels and toss well to incorporate.
