Lawn Mower Salad

½ cup canola oil

½ cup white sugar

¼ cup water

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

2 (3 ounce) packages chicken-flavored ramen noodles, crushed, seasoning packets reserved

1 (12 ounce) package broccoli coleslaw mix

1 bunch green onions, sliced

1 cup roasted cashews

¼ cup roasted sunflower seed kernels

Whisk canola oil, sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, and seasoning packets from ramen noodles in a bowl until thoroughly combined and sugar and seasoning packets have dissolved.

Toss ramen noodles in a large salad bowl with broccoli slaw mix and green onions. Pour dressing over the salad and let stand 1/2 hour to 4 hours - shorter for crunchier noodles, longer for softer ones. Just before serving, toss salad again with cashews and sunflower seeds.
