Nutty Ramen Broccoli Slaw

Submitted by Robin TL.

"I have been making this since I got the 2001 Quick Cooking cookbook. very simple and delicious. I have made just a few changes to the recipe like not putting the ramen noodles, sunflower seeds and almonds in until served, otherwise they become soft and you want them crunchy. I hope you like it as much as we do."

We enjoyed this crunchy slaw mix. It makes a great side dish for any occasion. The only changes I made was to leave out the olives and to use Truvia natural sweetener vs. sugar. Will definitely make this slaw again. Made for Spring PAC, 2014.

This is a great. recipe. I just used a package of slaw mix, almonds, one green onion and the ramen. I reduced the dressing by half. I didn't have the other ingredients at home. It didn't seem to matter to my family, they ate it up!

This is another good way to use bagged broccoli slaw mix. I found it in the Quick Cooking 2000 Jul/Aug issue and have made it quite a few times. My recipe calls for 2c. sliced green onions, but due to family preference, I substitute onion powder. I also eliminate the olives.
