Lawn Mower Salad

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 (3 ounce) packages chicken-flavored ramen noodles, crushed, seasoning packets reserved
• 1 (12 ounce) package broccoli coleslaw mix
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 1 cup roasted cashews
• 1/4 cup roasted sunflower seed kernels

Directions

Whisk canola oil, sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, and seasoning packets from ramen noodles in a bowl until thoroughly combined and sugar and seasoning packets have dissolved.

Toss ramen noodles in a large salad bowl with broccoli slaw mix and green onions. Pour dressing over the salad and let stand 1/2 hour to 4 hours – shorter for crunchier noodles, longer for softer ones. Just before serving, toss salad again with cashews and sunflower seeds.
