Ingredients

• 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
• 2 cups (shredded) Purple cabbage
• 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
• 4 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
• 1 pack (3 oz) Ramen noodles (uncooked)
• 1 cup Slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Shred the green cabbage and purple cabbage into thin strips, and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the shredded carrots and sliced green onions to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Crush the ramen noodles into small pieces, discarding the seasoning packet. Set the crushed noodles aside.

Step 4

In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds and sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together vegetable oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Just before serving, add the crushed ramen noodles, toasted almonds, and sesame seeds to the salad mixture.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything to combine evenly.

Step 8

Serve immediately for the best crunch, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes if needed. Enjoy!
