Asian Coleslaw

This recipe has become popular with the local clan. It's a simple enough way to get some pasta and nuts into slaw, with a good taste and texture. I found the recipe on the internet and modified it slightly to my own taste.

"Bagged coleslaw mix is combined with crunchy dry ramen noodles, sunflower seeds, almonds, green onions, and a simple sweet vinaigrette for a tasty Asian-inspired coleslaw."


Ingredients:
1 (3 ounce) package Oriental flavor ramen noodles with seasoning pack
1 (3 ounce) package roasted sunflower seed kernels
1 (3 ounce) package sliced almonds
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 bottle of Newman's Own® Oil and Vinegar dressing (about 1 to 1-1/2 cups)
1/3 cup white sugar
1 (16 ounce) package angel-hair coleslaw mix (or two 10-oz bags)
1 carrot finely chopped (optional)

Directions:
Combine green onions, carrot pieces (optional), and coleslaw mix. Combine dressing, Oriental seasoning packet, and sugar until dissolved. Mix dressing into the coleslaw mix and put in fridge overnight for flavors to meld. Prior to serving, crush the ramen noodles in a bowl, and stir, along with sunflower seeds and almonds, into coleslaw mix.

The final result looks something like this.

I can't quite imagine that blend of flavors. You'll have to make it the next time we're sharing cooking duties.

It looks good.
