Broccoli Cole Slaw

Salad:
2 bags (3-ounce) Ramen Noodle Soup in Oriental (other flavors will work, too)
3/4 stick butter
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 bags (12-ounce) bags broccoli cole slaw
(in the bagged salad section of the grocery store)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (optional)
Chopped green onions, for garnish

Dressing Mix:
3/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup brown or white sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 ramen noodle seasoning packet

Put the ramen noodles in a bag and crush them with a rolling
pin while melting butter in a large skillet over low/medium heat.
Add the crushed noodles and slivered almonds to the skillet and
saute, stirring occasionally (keep temperature at low/medium
heat). Meanwhile, whisk together all the dressing ingredients
in a small bowl. Place the shredded broccoli into bowl and
toss with the noodles, almonds, and sunflower seeds. Pour
dressing over salad and toss to coat. Garnish with chopped
green onions.
