1/2 cup toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds ( I buy raw and then toast these - same baking instructions as almonds)

6 Tbsp sesame seeds (toasted or same baking instructions as almonds)

1 packet of Ramen noodles ( i buy chicken flavor - you can also use that packet for dressing instead of the sodium free granulated bouillon

Dried organic cranberries (optional - I sometimes add these for color and some sweetness!)

1/3 cup of olive oil

6 drops of sesame oil (optional)

Put cabbage in serving bowl; Add toasted almonds, sunflower or pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds . 

Pour dressing over and toss.


About 5 minutes prior to serving, crush up Ramen noodles ( or similar) and add to cole slaw.  


Toss and Serve!  Always a hit!
