Category: Salad

1 (12 oz.) pkg broccoli slaw
6 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup canola oil, plus 2 tbsp
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 (3 oz.) pkg ramen noodles, crushed
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1 cup dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped or 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Chop broccoli slaw with knife to make bite-sized pieces. Combine with green onions in a large bowl.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in medium skillet over medium low heat. Add sesame seeds and crushed noodles (save seasoning packet in pkg for another use). Cook and stir until noodles begin to turn golden brown. Add to broccoli mixture.

Whisk together sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and 1/4 cup oil in small bowl. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture. Add peanuts and red pepper flakes, if desired. Toss until coated.

TIP For a milder dressing, use white vinegar instead of cider vinegar.
