There are many versions of this mayo-free, veggie-packed summer-time stable, but the delicious sauce and crunchy add-ins makes my mom’s adaptation the best! Serve this in a big ole bowl and make sure to have enough for leftovers!
Veggies:

Crunchies:
- 2 pkg. Ramen Noodles, broken (do not use seasoning packet)

Dressing:
- 1/2 c. Vegetable Oil

Directions:
- In large bowl, combine the Veggies, (Slaw, Pea Pods, Onions and Celery); set aside.
- In medium skillet on low-medium heat, drizzle Oil and gently brown the Crunchies, (Ramen Noodles, Seeds and Almonds); allow to cool.
- In small saucepan over low heat, mix Dressing ingredients but not soy (Oil, Sugar and Vinegar), and bring to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add soy sauce; allow to cool.
- Once cooled, mix Crunchies with Veggies in large bowl.

- Enjoy!
