Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage and red cabbage finely and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Shred the carrots and slice the green onions, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Step 3
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds and sunflower seeds for 2-3 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Break the uncooked ramen noodles into small pieces. Set the noodles aside, and reserve the seasoning packet for the dressing.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ramen seasoning packet, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well blended.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Step 7
Add the toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, and broken ramen noodles to the salad. Mix thoroughly to combine for a crunchy texture.

Allow the salad to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
