Sweet and Crunchy Salad
This summer salad is both simple and delightful. For gatherings, I typically prepare twice the amount. If preferred, you can also incorporate oriental-style ramen noodles.
Ingredients
- 2 (3 ounce) packages chicken flavored ramen noodles
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 (16 ounce) package shredded coleslaw mix
- 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained and sliced
- 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- ½ cup sunflower seeds

- Drain the noodles and combine in a large bowl with the coleslaw, oranges, water chestnuts, green onions and sunflower seeds.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Add cashews before serving.
