Sunflower Crunch Salad image

A nice crunchy cabbage salad with a tart dressing. I love coleslaw, but my husband does not like creamy dressings. This recipe has parts from many others, picked and chose to meet both our desires.

SUNFLOWER CRUNCH SALAD (WITH RAMEN!)



Sunflower Crunch Salad (With Ramen!) image

Ok - this is one of those recipes that sounds questionable & becomes more appealing when the budget closes in. We used to make this a hundred years ago when we were in college on tight budgets... Time passed, the recipe was lost & today it showed up in an email from The Witchita Eagle! It's cheap, not entirely bad for you with the fresh vegies (& nuts) & tastes unbelievably good! LOL - am adding cabbage to the shopping list because mine in the garden are just too small! There was no serving size listed so I opted for 4 to 6 - you'll see. Awesome potluck or picnic dish - just mix vegies, ramen & dressing on site & serve.
