Crunchy Ramen Noodle Salad

Hey friends!  I found this recipe on pinterest and decided to put a twist on it and make it my own.  Super easy and quick to make.

2 pkg. uncooked ramen noodles
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 bag cole slaw
2 ramen noodle chicken seasoning packets
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup sugar and another 1/2 cup sugar

Combine uncooked ramen noodles, green onions and cole slaw in a bowl and mix.  In a separate bowl mix canola oil, white vinegar, chicken seasoning packets and 1/3 cup sugar.  Whisk together until the sugar has completely dissolved.  You can throw your almonds into the salad but I like mine caramelized.  Place 1/2 cup sugar and almonds in a fry pan and turn on low.  Cook until the sugar melts and glazes over the almonds.  Toss almonds and dressing in the salad and mix well.  Let sit for about 20-30 min to let all the flavors soak in and serve.
