Begin by preparing all your fresh ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced scallions.
Take the uncooked ramen noodles out of their packaging and break them into small pieces with your hands. Discard the seasoning packets, as they will not be used.
Toast the broken ramen noodles, slivered almonds, and sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool completely.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the toasted ramen mixture to the bowl of vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Let the slaw sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
