Simply Cookbooks

Like a lot of people I am getting ready for my Labor Day gathering.   We don’t have a huge family, but we like to graze.  So the challenge for me is to find foods that  can be set out and people “graze” on all day.

Another challenge I have is my son-in-law, who is a great cook, doesn’t like any salad with mayonnaise in it.  So for him, potato salad is out.  I remembered a recipe that my sister-in-law made years ago and have been looking for it all day and walla…..I found it in one of Paula’s cookbooks.   She has saved my day again!

Ingredients

* 2 bags (3-ounce) Ramen Noodle Soup in Oriental (other flavors will work, too)
* 3/4 stick butter
* 1/4 cup slivered almonds
* 2 bags (12-ounce) bags broccoli cole slaw (in the bagged salad section of the grocery store)
* 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
* Chopped green onions, for garnish

Dressing Mix:

* 3/4 cup canola oil
* 1/4 cup brown or white sugar
* 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
* 1 ramen noodle seasoning packet

Directions

Put the ramen noodles in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin while melting butter in a large skillet over low/medium heat. Add the crushed noodles and slivered almonds to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally (keep temperature at low/medium heat). Meanwhile, whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Place the shredded broccoli into bowl and toss with the noodles, almonds, and sunflower seeds. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Garnish with chopped green onions.
