This recipe comes from my Aunt Jennifer and it is a hit all summer long! I love to bring this to a picnic or potluck as a side, but you could easily make it into a meal by adding chicken on the top. It feeds a crowd and doubles beautifully!

While the recipe says to add the ramen noodles at the end so that they stay super crunchy, I can attest that regardless, this coleslaw tastes just as good the next day and makes for great leftovers.

CRUNCHY COLESLAW INGREDIENTS:

• Dressing
  • Oil of your choice (I prefer Avocado oil)
  • Sugar
  • White Vinegar
  • Beef Ramen Noodle seasoning packets
• Salad
  • Cole Slaw Mix
  • Ramen Noodles
  • Sunflower Seeds (unsalted, roasted)
  • Slivered Almonds (toasted)
  • Green Onion
  • Carrots (shredded)

HOW TO MAKE CRUNCHY COLESLAW:

Step One: Prepare dressing the night before or at least a few hours ahead (this will give it time to thicken). Mix thoroughly. I like to throw it all in a large mason jar and shake it well.

Step Two: Break Ramen noodles into small pieces. Add sunflower seeds and almonds. Mix together and set aside.

Step Three: As close to serving time as you can, put it all together. Start with the coleslaw, then add the carrots, then the green onion, then the ramen noodle/sunflower/almond mixture, and pour the dressing over everything.
