Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz package cabbage slaw
  • 1 1/2 cups red cabbage chopped
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup green onions diced
  • 8 oz shelled edamame
  • 3 oz package ramen noodles broken into pieces and toasted
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds toasted
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • sunflower seeds optional topping
  • 1/2 cup regular sesame oil or canola oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce or a few dashes more
  • 2 teaspoons chili paste or sriracha for a little spice and taste optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing by thoroughly mixing the sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste or sriracha, and salt and pepper; shake well and set aside or refrigerate if making ahead.
  2. Heat the frozen shelled edamame in the microwave, sprinkle with salt, and allow it to cool.
  3. Break the ramen noodles into small pieces and toast them in a nonstick skillet with the slivered almonds over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, then let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together the cabbage slaw, chopped red cabbage, shredded carrots, diced green onions, cooked edamame, and the toasted noodle and almond mixture.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until well combined.
  6. Optionally, garnish with sunflower seeds and additional toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • You can leave out the red cabbage and increase the green cabbage slaw if preferred
  • For best texture, add the dressing an hour before serving but wait to mix in ramen noodles, almonds, and sunflower seeds until just before serving
  • Individual servings can be dressed separately to keep the salad fresh
