A twist on the classic. I don't like onions, so I've substituted fresh cilantro. The sesame oil, lime juice and crushed red pepper give this delicious and easy salad exciting new flavors.

Ingredients:

1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles (i prefer oriental)

4 tablespoons sesame seeds

4 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional as noodle flavoring is so salty)

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3 tablespoons cider vinegar

3 tablespoons lime juice (bottled is fine)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 cup olive oil, minus 1 tablespoon

2 (1 g) packets noodle flavoring

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Mix coleslaw and cilantro.
2. Combine all ingredients for dressing. Stir well.
3. Toast sesame seeds - only takes a few minutes. Don't burn them!
4. Break noodles into small pieces. Add to salad mix.
5. Add sesame seeds.
6. Pour dressing over salad and mix well.
7. I think this salad gets better on day 2!
