Mayonnaise Free Coleslaw

This is a mayonnaise free coleslaw. Delicious and colorful.

Ingredients

2 (3oz) pkg of chicken flavored ramen noodles uncooked.

1/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 Apple cider vinegar

about 4 packed cups of red, green or a mix of cabbage

1 large carrot shredded

3 celery stalks shredded

1 large red pepper cut into fine strips

1 white onion cut into fine strips or fresh scallions finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

{If you don't want to cut all the veggies you can just buy a 16oz bag of pre-cut coleslaw mix}

-------------------------------------------------------

Combine seasoning packets from the ramen noodles, sugar, oil, vinegar and 1/4 cup of water in a large bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Add veggies (not cabbage) and crumbled ramen needles. Mix thoroughly.

(I put the noodles in a bag and crush them with a kitchen mallet)

Add cabbage, Salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.

 Try to stir it up as often as possible while you let it set over night so juices coat and absorb evenly.
