Ingredients

• ½ cup sunflower seeds
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups boiling water
• 6 green onions, chopped
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
• 1 (3 ounce) package beef ramen noodles
• 3 tablespoons granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (e.g., Splenda ®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place ramen noodles in colander; break into quarters. Pour boiling water over noodles to soften slightly. Use a fork to separate noodles. Rinse quickly with cold water; drain.

Step 2

Make a dressing by whisking together the flavor packet from the ramen noodles, olive oil, vinegar, and sweetener in a bowl. Place the ramen noodles, coleslaw mix, green onions, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl; toss to combine. Drizzle dressing over the coleslaw mixture and continue to toss until entire mixture is coated with dressing. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
