Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 ounces broccoli slaw
  • 1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • ½ cup shelled edamame
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 (3-ounce) package ramen noodles, broken into small pieces (use brown rice ramen to make gluten-free)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari sauce for gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli slaw, oranges, edamame, almonds, cilantro and ramen. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons sesame oil, soy or tamari sauce, vinegar, ginger and scallions to make dressing; season with salt and pepper. Add dressing to slaw mixture; mix to combine well. Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
