The flavors of this coleslaw were perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! I went to a picnic last week where a friend of mine served something similar and I knew I needed to learn how to make this. I added the ramen noodles right before serving to keep it crunchy. Made for ZWT6 LOONEY SPOON PHOODIES! :D

If you serve this to guests please warn them you used Ramen noodle seasoning packets. They are FULL of MSG! to those of us sensitive to MSG that could be devestating.

Great recipe! I used a bag of pre-made slaw, the kind that has carrot pieces in it, but I should have paid closer attention because my bag was only 16 oz, and this recipe calls for 24 oz...so mine was quite saucy! One bit of advice...next time I will toast my almonds and sesame seeds separately. Will try to get pic up soon :)~ Thanks so much for a different and delicious salad!
