Chinese Coleslaw

Ingredients:
1 (16 oz) bag coleslaw
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
2 (3 oz) packages of Top Ramen noodles, chicken flavor
1 (5 oz) can chicken chunks
1/2 cup salad oil
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
Spice from ramen soup

Toss together coleslaw & sliced green onions
Toast almonds, sesame seeds, & ramen noodles until golden
Mix oil, sugar, pepper, & spice from ramen soup; add to coleslaw mix*
Toss in toasted almonds, sesame seeds, ramen noodles, & chicken*

* I don't add the dressing, almonds, sesame seeds, & ramen noodles until about 30 mins before I serve the salad - this prevents the salad from looking too wilted. If I am making this for an office party (which I usually am), I mix the coleslaw, green onions, & chicken together the night before. I put the toasted almonds, sesame seeds, & ramen noodles in a bag, mix the dressing up & place it in a separate container. I then toss all ingredients together the next day.
