How do you make Broccoli Slaw?

First things first, you’ll need to prepare your broccoli. If you’re using fresh broccoli, cut off the large pieces of stem and separate the broccoli florets from the stems.

Using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, remove the thick skin from the stems and then cut them into thin matchsticks. If you’re using packaged broccoli slaw mix, you can skip this step, as the broccoli stalks and florets will already be sliced into thin strips.

You can also add red cabbage, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, or golden raisins for additional flavor and texture. If you’re using fresh ingredients, be sure to wash and dry them before adding to your bowl.

You can also add black pepper and fresh parsley to enhance the flavor.

Once your slaw ingredients and dressing are both prepared, you can combine them in a large bowl. Combine equal parts of your dressing and slaw mix and toss everything together until well combined. If you’re using ramen noodles, either crush them up and sprinkle them on top, or mix them in for extra crunch.

Where can I serve Broccoli Slaw?

Broccoli slaw is the perfect side dish for a variety of meals, including Mexican food, potato salad, or any other dish that needs a little extra crunch. It’s also a great way to use up any extra broccoli stems that you may have leftover from another recipe.

What to do with Broccoli Slaw leftovers?

Store your broccoli slaw in an airtight container in the fridge for the next day. As an added bonus, the extra time in the fridge will allow the flavors to blend together and add even more flavor.

In conclusion, broccoli slaw is an easy and delicious way to add an extra healthy element to your meals. With fresh, raw vegetables and a tangy dressing, it’s the ideal side dish for any occasion. 

Plus, with so many easy recipes available online, it’s easy to find one that fits your taste and dietary preferences. So why not give this go-to recipe a try and discover why broccoli slaw is quickly becoming one of the most popular slaw options available?

Can I make this broccoli dish with pre-packaged mix?

Yes, using a pre-packaged mix is a great option for making broccoli slaw. You can often find bags of broccoli slaw mix at grocery stores, which contain pre-shredded broccoli stalks and florets, as well as other vegetables like carrots or red cabbage.

By using a pre-packaged mix, you can save yourself some time and effort in the prep work, making it an even easier and quicker side dish to prepare.

Just be sure to check the ingredients and nutrition information on the package to ensure it meets your dietary preferences and needs. This classic broccoli salad has so much flavor and it’s one of my go-to recipes.
