This overnight coleslaw calls for shredded cabbage, toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, ramen noodles, and a light vinaigrette.
2 packages (3 ounce size) dry beef-flavored ramen noodles
2 packages (8.5 ounce size) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage with carrots)
1 cup toasted and sliced almonds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup white vinegar
Crush the ramen coarsely and place the in a large bowl. Add the coleslaw mix but do not stir. Sprinkle the top of the coleslaw with the almonds, sunflower seeds, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the seasonings from the ramen noodles, sugar, oil, and vinegar until well mixed. Pour over the salad evenly.
Cover the bowl and place the layered Asian ramen coleslaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving. Right before serving, gently toss the ingredients to mix them.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.

Instead of apple cider vinegar I use seasoned rice wine vinegar. This is always popular no matter what I make it for. I usually let it sit overnight.

I use the low sodium ramen to cut the saltiness down. I also toast the almonds first. This is a favorite salad of ours.

Delicious! And I love that you can make this slaw ahead of time.

I found that if you keep the ramen and almonds and sunflower seeds separate until the rest is mixed with the dressing and add them at the very last minute, you'll get more crunch! I also added some green pepper and finely chopped zukes. Good salad!

My Family loves this recipe. They demand it for every family dinner. My husband cries if I don't make it at least once a month.

I have been making this dish for years and it is always a hit. EZ and really good. I think it is better to sub 1 chick Ramen for one of the beef. Better flavor and ez on the oil. Also- mix liquids with slaw and refrig 2 hours then add crunch to save time.

I made this for a family BBQ about 1 year and 1/2 ago, and now every get together it is requested! I do substitute broccoli slaw for the regular coleslaw. It seems to be a hit!!!

This is a real winner! The ramen doesn't get soggy even though you need to prepare this ahead of time. The flavor is fantastic and the almonds and sunflower seeds give it a nice crunch.

A potluck favorite that feeds a lot for not a lot of mula.
I make this for church and family dinner. This slaw is one of my most requested recipes.
I've had this salad with the noodles toasted and added just before serving.
