Instructions

Combine all salad base ingredients (cabbage, green onions, carrots, celery). You may use a Cuisinart for preparation.
For the dressing, shake together or blend all dressing ingredients (sugar, vinegar, oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic powder) well.
Prepare the topping: melt the butter in a large skillet. Sauté the slivered almonds, crumbled ramen noodles, and optional sesame seeds in the butter until they are golden brown.
Just prior to serving, toss all ingredients (salad base, dressing, and topping) together.

Notes

If you do not add the topping, the salad keeps well in the fridge after mixing. The sesame seeds are optional because sesame oil is already in the dressing.
