Asian Ramen Broccoli Slaw
Asian Ramen Broccoli Slaw pairs crunchy broccoli slaw with toasted ramen noodles, cashews, sunflower seeds, and green onions, dressed in a tangy sweet and savory sauce. The contrast of textures from crispy noodles and seeds with the fresh, crisp slaw creates an interesting salad. The dressing uses the seasoning from chicken-flavored ramen along with rice vinegar, olive oil, and sugar for balance. This salad is suitable as a side dish or light lunch.
