Crunchy Cabbage

This is quick, very tasty and a great alternative to mayo cole slaw (which I DO NOT eat!).

1 head cabbage shredded, or I use a store bought bag of coleslaw mix
Several Tbsps sliced almonds
several tbps sunflower seeds
1 pkg chicken flavored top ramen, keep flavor packet
1/4 c. olive oil
4 tbsps cider vinegar
3 tbsps sugar (or splenda is a great sub here)
salt and pepper to taste
Bunch green onions sliced, I use the white parts.

In a large bowl pour the cabbage, almonds, green onions, sunflower seeds. Crunch the top ramen and add to the cabbage mix. In a separate bowl add the vinegar, ramen seasoning pkg, salt and pepper and stir to mix. Slowly add the oil and mix to incorporate the oil to the vinegar. Add the dressing to the mix only when you are just about to serve and people are going to eat it, otherwise it can loose alot of body because of the vinegar.

I got this recipe from a woman who helped me alot before I was married. Thanks mary for sharing your recipe with me! We have loved it for our entire marriage, we even add chicken(to the salad) and sesame oil(to the dressing) and make a more asian chicken slaw salad, which is great!
