This crunchy slaw is a guaranteed crowd pleaser and the dish I am expected to bring to the annual lake party for my husband’s firm. It perfectly complements smoked meats and barbecue, and its hearty texture holds up for several hours tossed in the yummy sweet & sour vinaigrette. No matter where I take this slaw, I'm asked for the recipe. With its fabulous color, crunch, and a delicious mixture of sweet, sour, salty & tangy, it's the best (and easiest) slaw ever! Try it with my smoked beef brisket recipe -- Deee-lish!! For more great recipes, please visit http://familysavvy.com xoxo~Jamie

Ingredients

for the slaw:
2 bags cabbage slaw (not angel hair--it doesn't hold up well) and broccoli slaw (optional)
1-2 package ramen noodles (broken into small pieces--flavor packets discarded)
1-2 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1/2-1 package craisins (we love pomegranate flavored)
1 cup dry roasted slivered almonds
1/2 cup (or more) glazed nuts (optional)
for the dressing:
1 cup canola oil (can mix with some extra virgin olive oil if desired)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
salt & pepper to taste

How To Make crunchy slaw

Step 1

Toss cabbage mix, onions, ramen, nuts, craisins into large bowl.

Step 2

Cover until ready to serve.
Step 3

Combine oil, sugar, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Shake well or blend for 30 seconds in a blender.
Step 4

Pour over slaw and toss well just before serving.
Step 5

The slaw calls for regular bagged coleslaw and broccoli slaw (optional). The angel hair slaw is too fine to hold up to all the ingredients, and angel hair slaw gets soggy quickly. This crunchy slaw has enough heft to last until it is eaten~which is always quickly!
