Quick and Easy Asian Slaw

I 8 oz. bag cole slaw mix

1 package ramen noodles with seasoning packet

1/4 cup slivered toasted almonds ( I use Trader Joe's...they're already toasted for you!)

2 TBsp soy sauce

2 Tsp ginger (ground, if using fresh, you can use a little less)

2 Tsp. oil (canola or olive are healthiest options)

1 TBsp white wine vinegar (can use rice wine vinegar also)

1 TBsp lime or lemon juice (I like lime best)

Put cole slaw mix in meduim bowl. Before you open the ramen noodle package, crush it with the heel of your hand to break the block up into small pieces. Reserving the seasoning packet, add the crushed noodles to the slaw mix. Add the almonds and toss with the slaw and noodles.

Mix together remaining ingredients in small bowl or cup, stirring with a fork or small whisk to blend well. Pour this mixutre over the slaw, noodles and almonds and mix thoroughly.

If you like, this tastes great with fruit such as piineapple chunks or mandarin oranges added, however the nutritional values of this recipe do not reflect those....so be sure to add the info for anything you choose to add.

Number of Servings: 6
