So. It’s Labor Day weekend! Do you have any fun plans?

I’m not gonna lie…I’m pretty excited that it’s finally here. Not just because Labor Day means a 3 day weekend, and fun with friends, and a little extra time to relax, but because Labor Day signals the start of the school year. WOOHOO!!!

After spending the past 3 months at home with my kids, I’m ready. And you know what? I’m not even going to feel bad about it.

Just like I’m not going to feel bad about doing nothing this weekend except relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends. And….of course….eating!

Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to squeeze in one last summer party, and it’s the perfect time for grilling.

And we all know that half the fun of grilling is making tons of fun sides to go with it!

You better believe I’ll be making Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad and Caprese Corn Salad…and this Broccoli Slaw with ramen noodles would make a great addition to the menu.

This salad is the perfect blend of savory and sweet, and what I love most about it is the crunch. Between the broccoli and the almonds and the toasted sunflower seeds…this Broccoli Slaw adds a delicious crunch factor to any meal.

It comes together in minutes and can easily be made in advance. In fact, it tastes better when it is!

And best of all, it travels and stores well, making it the perfect salad for any occasion.
