Crunchy Broccoli Slaw
My Crunchy Broccoli Slaw is one of the best potluck side dish recipes, and requires just 5 minutes of prep time. It’s a little sweet, delightfully tangy, and remarkably crunchy; the ideal pairing for a glass of lemonade and a warm day.

To make the broccoli slaw:

Instructions
- To make the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Whisk to combine.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Broccoli slaw: You can usually find this near the bagged salad kits in the produce section of your grocery store. Or, you can julienne broccoli stalks yourself.
- Ramen noodles: Be sure to break these up as much as possible. Large clusters of dry ramen won't be appetizing in this salad.
- Almonds: To save time, seek out toasted, sliced almonds. Or, you can toast the almonds yourself on the stove or in the oven.
- Sunflower seeds: Look for dry roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds without shells. Or, roast raw sunflower seeds yourself.
- Yield: This Crunchy Broccoli Slaw about 6 cups of salad total, enough for 6 (1-cup) servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The noodles may continue to get soggy, but I don't mind if you don't.
- Make ahead: The dressing can be mixed up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
