It was at a fourth of July celebration in our neighborhood when I first tasted this delicious salad. I immediately went searching for its creator and met Judy, a wonderful woman who certainly knows how to whip up some goodies in the kitchen. Now fall is rolling around and Kelsey and Katie’s school is having their picnic in a few weeks. I guess I know what I’m going to be bringing—Judy’s salad! This salad is a reminder to me that some of the best recipes, the best tips, and the best friendships happen when one mom needs another. We all have strengths. We all have weaknesses. And just like a delicious salad, the separate ingredients are far better when they’re together.

Saute the following in one stick of butter (it tends to burn if you’re not careful):
3 pkg. uncooked Oriental flavor Ramen Noodles (crushed)
1 flavor packet
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Whisk together these ingredients:
2 tsp soy sauce
4 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar

Combine noodles and nuts with:
1 1/2 bags of broccoli slaw
1 red pepper (chopped)
4 green onions (chopped)

Toss together with dressing and enjoy!
