Broccoli Slaw
Description
The core ingredients include broccoli slaw and broken ramen noodles that add crisp and crunchy texture. Toasted sunflower and sesame seeds contribute nuttiness, while the thinly sliced green onions provide a fresh sharpness. The dressing emulsifies several oils with acidity from rice vinegar and lime juice, sweetened with honey and seasoned with salt and black pepper.
The salad is tossed with half of the dressing before chilling for 30 minutes, which helps flavor meld and soften the broccoli slaw slightly. Additional dressing is reserved for serving, allowing customization of moisture and taste intensity. This slaw is suitable as a complementary side to grilled meats or as a standalone salad.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces broccoli slaw
- 6 ounces ramen noodles 2 packs, flavor packet discarded
- 6 green onion thinly sliced
- ⅔ cup sunflower seeds toasted
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- ½ cup avocado oil I like a flavorless oil for this, or canola oil
- ⅓ cup rice wine vinegar
- ¼ cup sesame oil toasted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the broccoli slaw in a bowl. Crush the ramen noodles into pieces and place them in with the broccoli slaw. Add the green onions and the sunflower seeds. Sprinkle in the sesame seeds.
- Place the oil, vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey and lime juice in a blender or bowl with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Blend or whisk together until it’s smooth and combined. Pour half of the dressing over the broccoli slaw and toss it together well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve with the extra dressing for drizzling - you can add it on right before serving, or let guests add it as they wish.
