Several points: 1) If you want the noodles to be crisp, why would you ever dress the salad for 24 hours. 2) Why would you need close to 1.25 cups of dressing for 8.5 oz of broccoli slaw? I used nearly 2/3 of the dressing and that was far too much dressing. 3) There was way too much sugar in the dressing. I used cane vinegar which is the harshest flavored vinegar and that still could not offset all of that sugar. 4) 510 calories for a serving? It is way too much oil. This is a poor recipe.

Great! I don't usually like cole slaw, but this was wonderful! I did use cole slaw mix instead of the broccoli and it still turned out really yummy!

Wow! I made this for a dinner party last night. I actually made it the night before last and let it sit in the fridge overnight. EVERYONE loved this! And our most picky guest actually had 4 helpings and then bashfully asked if he could take the left overs home! IT WAS AMAZING!!

Let me start by saying that I've never really found a coleslaw that I like, but I keep trying! This one was really good though. I ran out of normal white vinegar so I had to substitute with rice vinegar, but other than that I followed it exactly.<br/><br/>A couple of things<br/>1) This makes a ton, unless you're making it for a picnic I'd cut it in half<br/>2) The almonds add a bit of sweetness so I think the amount of sugar can probably be reduced a bit<br/>3) It be nice to keep the nuts out until right before you serve it for more crunch<br/><br/>Those are my only real thoughts, thanks for the recipe!

This is an awesome crowd-pleaser. It is very easy to assemble. I try to make a lighter version when I fix it at home by reducing the amount of almonds, seeds, oil, and sugar.
