Asian Slaw

Sister Potter made this salad for the last quarterly Relief Society activity. It was a hit, so we thought we'd add it.

Salad Ingredients:
2 3 oz packages of oriental-flavored Ramen noodles
2 pounds broccoli slaw
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/2 bunch of chopped green onions

Dressing:
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 Oriental Seasonings

Crush noodles and set aside. Combine broccoli slaw and other ingredients. Mix dressing together and add to salad ingredients. Mix in noodles.

Broccoli Salad

Dressing:
1 1/2 cups of mayo
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tb cider vinegar or red wine vinegar

For the Salad:
4-5 bunches of broccoli, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
3 oz of Real Bacon Bits, pre-cooked and ready to serve
1 8-ounce bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2-3 Tb Chopped red onion

Mix the dressing ingredients and allow flavors to combine. Adjust to desired taste of sweet and sour.

The salad can be prepared ahead of time, but don't add the bacon, cheese, or dressing until just before serving to keep them from getting soggy.
