They don't have to be crushed to a pulp - just made into bite-sized pieces. Mix in the almonds. Spread the mixture on the cookie sheet. Gently mix the butter and crunchies so that the latter are lightly covered with butter. Bake for 10-15 minutes until light golden brown, stirring once or twice while they bake.

• Just before serving, whisk the dressing again, pour it over the cabbage and top with crunchies. To reserve part of the salad, keep the 3 elements: dressing; crunchies; and cabbage/scallion mixture in separate well-sealed containers. Only the cabbage/scallion mixture needs refrigeration.
