2 tablespoons honey ((use agave or maple syrup for vegan))
1/2 cup oil (olive oil, vegetable oil or avocado oil)

Method

1
In a small bowl, add the ginger and whisk together with the remaining salad dressing ingredients until well combined and emulsified. Alternatively, you can add all the ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well.
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Crumble the ramen noodles onto the baking sheet and spread them in a single layer along with the almonds.
3
Bake for about 5-6 minutes, tossing once until the ramen noodles and the almonds are slightly toasted and golden. Keep an eye on them, they toast fast! especially the almonds.Remove from the oven and set aside.
4
Add the coleslaw mix, edamame, scallions and mandarin oranges to a large bowl. Add the toasted ramen noodles and almonds.
5
Drizzle the salad dressing and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top. Toss until well combined. Serve immediately. You can refrigerate the salad for 1-2 hours before serving but the ramen noodles may lose some of their crunch.
