Asian Broccoli Salad
Yield: 12-15 servings (perfect to take somewhere, a bit too much for just at home, adjust accordingly!)
· 2 pkg chicken flavored ramen noodles
· 1 cup slivered almonds
· 1 head broccoli, chopped in small pieces
· 1/2 red onion, diced
· 1 red bell pepper, chopped
· 1 cup sunflower seeds
· 1 cup oil
· 1/2 cup sugar
· 1/3 cup vinegar
· 2 pkts ramen noodle seasoning
1. Break ramen noodles in small pieces. Set seasoning packets aside for later.
2. Toast broken noodles and almonds in shallow pan at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Stir several times during toasting.
3. Combine broccoli, onion, red pepper, sunflower seeds, and toasted noodles and almonds in large bowl.
4. Whisk together oil, sugar, vinegar and seasoning packets in a small bowl.
5. Pour over salad right before serving and toss to coat.
This recipe I modified from one experienced first at Our Lady of the Prairie. It too contains super foods--nuts and flax and is a good source of Omega-3's. Too good not to share!
Flax Prairie Bread--Recipe adapted from Our Lady of the Prairie, Wheatland, Iowa
1 ¼ cup very warm water
2 T honey
2 T coconut oil (original calls for canola oil)
2 ½ t. yeast (original calls for 1 pkg fast rising yeast)
Pinch sugar (original did not call for this)—this feeds the yeast
2 ¼ cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup ground flax (I use flax meal from Health Market section Hyvee because its what I currently have on hand)
1 ½ t. salt
1 T poppy seed
2 T sunflower seeds (raw or roasted)
I mix my bread in the bread machine on the dough cycle. When complete place in greased pan and bake in traditional oven. After its done mixing I check it to make sure it has enough flour. The dough ball needs to be elastic and soft, not sticky.
Combine water, honey and oil. Add flax, salt, poppy, sunflower seeds, and whole wheat flour. Add bread flour followed by yeast and sugar.
Makes one large loaf.
Bake 375 for 35 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack.
