  • 1 cup matchstick carrots

Notes

  • Break up the noodles right in the package using your hands or the heavy end of a table knife or spoon.
  • For extra crunch and flavor toast the almond slivers or sliced almonds before adding them to the salad. It really adds great flavor to the salad.
  • If pushed for time, substitute ready to go coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw.
  • Napa cabbage can be substituted for the green cabbage just slice it thin.
  • Try adding apples, red bell peppers, mandarin oranges, or pineapple.
  • Make it a main dish by adding chicken, shrimp, salmon, or steak.
  • Mix the honey garlic dressing up to 48 hours in advance. Store in the refrigerator in a mason jar. Remove from the fridge 40 minutes prior to drizzling on the salad. Shake well before combining with the salad.
  • You can prepare this salad up to 24 hours in advance but keep in mind that the noodles will soften.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
