In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. In it, saute the crushed Ramen Noodles & sliced almonds for 8-9 minutes or until they are lightly toasted. Remove pan from heat and set aside to cool.

In a large salad bowl, combine the broccoli slaw, chopped apple, scallions & cilantro. Toss in the toasted Ramen Noodle & almond mixture.
