Salad: Put slaw mix, apples, onions, and nuts in large bowl. I don't add the apples or the nuts until I'm ready to serve, so the apples don't get brown and the nuts stay crunchy. Crush the ramen noodles and set aside. I don't mix in my salad, I serve in a separate bowl and let guests put them on if they would like. Dressing: Mix together the vinegar, water, oil, sweetner/sugar, garlic, and flavor pkgs. Set aside. When ready to serve, add apples, and noodles and nuts and pour dressing on and toss well,
