Teacher's Lounge, Broccoli Salad

The battle of the bulge is not just a historical battle, it was my mantra when I walked into the teacher's lounge.

I loved it when someone brought a salad, rather than a carb loaded dessert, to share in the teacher's lounge.

Broccoli and noodle salad it a crowd pleaser with its different and refreshing taste. Make sure to have some breath mints handy, this salad has onions in it!

Ingredients:
1- Package (16 Oz) Broccoli Slaw
1- Head Broccoli Broken into Florettes
2 Bunches Green Onions - sliced
1- Large Red Pepper Chopped
1- Cup Sunflower Seeds
3- Packages Oriental Noodles

Dressing:
1/2 canola oil
1/2 sugar
1/3 white vinegar
seasoning mix from oriental noodles

Mix up dressing then add noodles. Let noodles soak in dressing for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Toss vegetables together then add noodles. Serve
