Summertime and I’m all about easy and quick delicious food to share with family and friends. I love to create an array of make-ahead salads perfect accompaniments for cookouts and picnic; no fussing in the kitchen yet no skimping on taste either. My healthy slaw with Undon noddles fits all my requirements for a great summer salad, quick, easy and delicious. 

1 package 10 oz. Mann’s Power Blend, Brussels Sprouts, Napa cabbage, Kohlrai, Broccoli,           Carrots & Kale

1 can 15.5 oz. Garbanzo Beans drained & rinsed

1 package 10 oz. Udon Noodles, cooked according to package directions*

2 bunches scallions, thinly sliced, white only

1/4 cup slice almonds

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar with honey and grated ginger until dissolved. Whisk in the vegetable oil and season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

In large glass bowl combine slaw mix with beans, noodles, almonds, salt, and pepper. Pour vinaigrette over and toss until combined. Chill before serving.
