Ingredients

12 cups

For the salad:

1 - 16 ounce bag of coleslaw mix
2- 3 ounce ramen noodle packages (discard the seasoning)

1 cup of sliced almonds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup of mandarin orange slices (cut in half)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil {you can also use vegetable oil or any cooking oil}
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt and pepper

Method

1
In a large mixing bowl combine the coleslaw, ramen noodles, green onions, sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, mandarin oranges and fresh parsley and toss to combine.

Notes

If you aren't eating your salad right away I would wait to add the dressing until you are ready to serve the salad. I noticed that if you let the dressing sit on the salad for too long the noodles start to get soggy--I like the noodles to have some crunch. You can use a variety of other ingredients in this for example a broccoli slaw would work nicely, matchstick carrots, radishes and cucumbers would also make a nice addition. This recipe makes a large amount of salad for a crowd. If you don't need that much salad the recipe can easily be cut in half.
