Crunchy Broccoli Slaw
Crunchy Broccoli Slaw combines shredded broccoli stems, sliced scallions, toasted almonds and sunflower seeds, and crushed ramen noodles, all tossed with an apple cider vinaigrette. The result is a crisp, nutty, and slightly sweet salad with a bright, tangy dressing providing balance. The toasted nuts and crunchy noodles add varied texture throughout.

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.

Notes
- Broccoli slaw is typically found near bagged salad kits or can be made by julienning broccoli stalks.
- Break up ramen noodles thoroughly to prevent large clusters in the salad.
- Use toasted, sliced almonds for convenience or toast raw almonds yourself.
- Choose dry roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds without shells or roast raw seeds at home.
- The recipe yields about 6 cups, sufficient for six 1-cup servings.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days; noodles may soften but remain edible.
- Dressing can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
