Jen’s Broccoli Slaw

Looking for a new twist on your typical coleslaw? Why not try Broccoli Slaw? “What the heck is broccoli slaw?” you ask. Coleslaw that uses shredded broccoli instead of cabbage! I’ve made a couple different recipes of broccoli slaw and combined them all to create my own version that I’ll share with you. This salad combines toasty Asian flavors with sweet apples. Almonds and noodles add a nice crunch. I must admit that it is pretty tasty!
So for your next BBQ, why not make something new to wow your guests?! 
You’ll need: 
 1 bag of broccoli coleslaw {in refrigerator case with bagged salads}
2 green onions
1 large Gala apple
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped {optional}
3 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 package Ramen noodles, oriental flavor
2 Tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Melt 3 Tbsp butter in a skillet over med-low heat.
While butter melts, open Ramen noodles and set seasoning packet aside. Use a rolling pin to crush noodles. 

Add crushed noodles and sliced almonds to the melted butter. Saute, stirring frequently about 7-10 minutes, or until toasted. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In the meantime, core and chop apple into 1-inch pieces. Chop green onion and cilantro {if desired}.
Combine broccoli slaw, green onions, apples and cilantro in a large bowl.
Combine sugar, seasoning packet, apple juice and vinegar. Whisk in oil. 
Add noodle mixture to the bowl, pour dressing over salad. Stir to combine.
 Refrigerate for several hours and mix well before serving. 
Enjoy!
{Yield: 8 servings. This salad gets better the longer it sits. It’s great the next day too!}
