Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 (12-ounce) bags broccoli slaw
- 3 (3.5-ounce) packages ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded
- ¾ cup roasted cashews
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup chopped scallions
Dressing
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (packed) brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- To a jar, add the ½ cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon (packed) brown sugar, ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and ½ tablespoon soy sauce. Shake it well until the sugar dissolves.
- Using your hands, break the 3 (3.5-ounce) packages ramen noodles, up into smaller pieces. It's ok if some pieces are bigger than others.
- Add the 2 (12-ounce) bags broccoli slaw, broken ramen noodles, ¾ cup roasted cashews, ½ cup dried cranberries, and ⅓ cup chopped scallions to a large salad bowl.
- Give the dressing another shake, pour it over the salad, and toss to coat. Let the salad rest for 15-20 minutes to soften the noodles a little.
Notes
- Toasted sesame oil isn't the same thing as regular sesame oil. It has a very distinctive flavor. You can find it in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
- If you don't want to use rice vinegar (also found in the Asian section of most grocery stores), try white vinegar or cider vinegar. I'd start with 2 tablespoons and work my way up from there since rice vinegar tends to be a bit more mild.
