Ingredients
Vegetables
- 3 cups julienned broccoli stems
- 2 cups small broccoli florets
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup sliced red cabbage
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
Add-ins
- ½ cup toasted sliced almonds, reserve some for garnish
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries, reserve some for garnish
Dressing
- 1 recipe Coleslaw Dressing, omit the celery seed
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the broccoli stems, broccoli florets, julienned carrots, sliced red cabbage, thinly sliced red onion, toasted sliced almonds, and dried cranberries.
- Add Dressing and Toss: Drizzle about three quarters of the coleslaw dressing over the mixture and toss everything well to coat the vegetables and nuts evenly. Add more dressing to taste if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Reserve some almonds and dried cranberries for garnish. Sprinkle these on top just before serving to add a decorative touch and extra crunch.
Notes
- For a shortcut, you can use a 12- to 16-ounce bag of store-bought broccoli slaw instead of julienned broccoli stems, florets, carrots, and cabbage.
- Adjust the amount of dressing according to your personal preference for creaminess and flavor intensity.
- This slaw is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day to allow flavors to meld.
