This is such a wonderful tasting salad. I had this at a get together over the weekend and was surprised at how easy this was to put together. Great for a picnic, potluck, or just for family. I did tweak the ingredients a bit. If you are fat conscious then please omit the ramen noodles. the slaw still tastes fabulous. Enjoy!Fresh Broccoli Slaw
2 packs ramen noodles
2 bags broccoli slaw
small minced red onion
2 stalks celery, minced
1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1/3 cup pineapple, diced or green apple, diced
1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds or slivered almonds
Dressing Mix:
1 seasoning packet from Ramen noodle
3/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup brown or white sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Directions:
Put the ramen noodles in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. 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 onions. You can also add some of the pineapple juice to the dressing mix. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Let this sit for at least a half hour, stirring a few times.
