NUTTY RAMEN BROCCOLI SLAW
I have been making this since I got the 2001 Quick Cooking cookbook. very simple and delicious. I have made just a few changes to the recipe like not putting the ramen noodles, sunflower seeds and almonds in until served, otherwise they become soft and you want them crunchy. I hope you like it as much as we do.
