Ramen & Almonds

In a small skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Add the crushed ramen noodles first and then the slivered almonds.
2 Tbsp. butter, 1 pkg Ramen noodles, ½ cup slivered almonds
Sauté, stirring constantly until the ramen noodles and almonds are golden brown. Remove from the heat.

Slaw

In a large bowl add the coleslaw mix, green onions and cooled ramen noodles/almonds.
8 oz pkg. coleslaw mix, ⅔ cup green onions
Lightly whisk the dressing one more time and then pour over the salad. Toss the dressing with the coleslaw ingredients until evenly coated.
