Instructions
- Open ramen packages and set seasoning packets aside. Place uncooked noodles in a large plastic bag and break up using your hands or the bottom of a cup.

- When ready to serve, place coleslaw in a large bowl. Top with noodle mixture and dressing. Mix and serve immediately.

Notes
- Change It Up: Give your salad additional protein, color, and flavor by adding shredded cooked chicken, mandarin oranges, edamame, sliced green onions, shredded carrots, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, tofu, shrimp or roasted chickpeas.
- Low-Sodium Version: To make this salad a bit healthier you can skip adding in the seasoning packets, which contain lots of added sodium. You can also use 1–2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce in place of the seasoning packets.
- To Avoid Soggy Noodles: Mix the noodles with the other ingredients right before serving. The longer the salad is stored, the softer the noodles will get.
- Make Ahead. Prepare dressing by putting ingredients in a container or mason jar and store in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, place coleslaw in a large bowl. Top with noddole mixture and the prepared dressing. Mix and serve immediately.
