Ingredients for Broccoli Slaw
Why decide between a broccoli salad and a creamy coleslaw when you can have both? This easy broccoli slaw recipe combines shredded broccoli stalks with carrots and a bit of purple cabbage.
- Broccoli Slaw: Broccoli coleslaw mix is sold at almost any grocery store near the bagged salads. You can also easily make your own with broccoli stems.
- Fruits: shredded granny smith apples and dried cranberries add sweetness
- Seeds: we love sunflower seeds but they can be replaced with blanched almonds or other nuts
- Dressing: mayo, vinegar, and sugar
Variations
- This broccoli slaw dressing is great with almost any kind of coleslaw mix.
- Add sliced green onion or diced red onion if desired.
- A teaspoon or two of Dijon mustard can be added to the dressing.

To Make Broccoli Slaw
- Salad: Cut granny smith apple into julienne matchsticks or small dice (recipe below). Toss with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
- Dressing: For the broccoli slaw dressing, combine the dressing ingredients.
- Combine: Toss all ingredients with the dressing and refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend.
This broccoli slaw recipe is a great way to use up broccoli stems. You can also finely chop some of the broccoli florets and add them in.
- Rinse the stems and peel away the tough outer layer.
- Cut the stems into fine matchsticks (julienne) or shred them with the largest holes on a box grater or food processor. I prefer fine matchsticks in this recipe.
- Use in place of bagged slaw in the recipe below.
