Instructions
For the dressing
- Put all the dressing ingredients into a jar, screw on cap tightly, and shake vigorously until everything is incorporated.
For the salad
- Mix desired amounts of vegetables, sunflower seeds, nuts, etc. together in a large bowl. Add dressing to taste (you want to flavor the salad but not drown the vegetables). Toss. Add the ramen noodles. Toss again and serve immediately so the noodles stay crunchy.
Notes
- Broccoli slaw can be found at most grocery stores. It is usually in the same section as the pre-packaged salads. I also use pre-shredded cabbage which is available in the same section.
- You can buy pre-shredded carrots or shred your own with a food processor, a sharp knife, or a julienne peeler.
