Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Tbs. each:
Sunflower seeds
Slivered almonds
Sesame Seeds
1 pkg chicken flavored Top Ramen
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 bags prepared cole slaw with carrots
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 can water chestnuts, drained and diced
Optional: 1 can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

Break up ramen noodles while still in package. Open and remove seasoning packet. Place dry noodles on a toaster oven baking sheet and set aside. Mix vinegar and sugar with a whisk until sugar is dissolved; add seasoning packet and whisk. Combine cabbage, green onion and diced water chestnuts. Carefully toast dry noodles. While noodles are cooling, toast seed mixture on stove carefully so as not to burn. Combine with noodles and set aside to cool. Return to dressing, making sure that all sugar and seasonings are dissolved. Now whisk in oil. The longer the dressing remains at room temperature, the better. Keep salad in refrigerator until ready to serve. Toss all together just before serving.
