EASY BROCCOLI SLAW



Easy Broccoli Slaw image

This is a fast, easy, and very tasty broccoli salad made with broccoli slaw. I use light products where possible, but you can certainly use whatever you have on hand. This recipe is just the start! You can also add diced apples or crumbled bacon. This is also a great dish to make ahead of time. I'd say it's at its best after at least a day.

CREAMY BROCCOLI SLAW



Creamy Broccoli Slaw image

When springtime rolls around, we are always on the hunt for a quick and easy recipe that makes a great sidekick to any meal. And when the temperatures rise, it's always nice to have a new way to serve the traditional salad recipe. Let's be honest, the same old greens can get tired and boring. That's why we were thrilled to taste the Test Kitchen's new spin on the broccoli slaw. Whether you're prepping for a potluck or planning a casual backyard luncheon, this recipe, which serves ten, is sure to please. The base of this easy-to-prepare salad is a slaw mix that you can pick up in the produce aisle at the local supermarket. Our Test Kitchen suggests the broccoli slaw mix or a standard cabbage, carrot, and red cabbage slaw combination. We love the addition of the toasted pecans and scallions for adding a nice savory touch, and that satisfying crunch, and the golden raisins add an unexpected hint of sweetness. Our secret ingredient is the lemon zest which keeps the slaw vibrant and extra fresh. If you want to make this salad a main meal, we recommend tossing grilled chicken into the mix. This is a light, refreshing, and incredibly simple summer go-to recipe.

CREAMY & EASY BROCCOLI SLAW



Creamy & Easy Broccoli Slaw image

Get this; my kids won't eat regular coleslaw, but when I make it with broccoli they will! This is more similar to regular coleslaw than what is standardly prepared with packaged broccoli slaw. I make mine without onion, and usually without peanuts. (The ingredients will not allow me to enter just broccoli slaw; it appears as broccoli coleslaw mix, but in the produce section it will just say broccoli slaw)

CREAMY BROCCOLI AND CARROT SLAW



Creamy Broccoli and Carrot Slaw image

Categories     Salad     Side     Low Carb     Mayonnaise     Broccoli     Carrot     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield 2 Servings; CAN BE DOUBLED

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated onion
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard
1 1/4 cups shredded peeled broccoli stems
3/4 cup shredded peeled carrots

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, onion and mustard in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Add broccoli and carrots; toss to coat. Season slaw to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate to blend flavors, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns with yellow or brown spots.
  • Cut the broccoli into small florets. This will help the broccoli cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a sharp knife to shred the cabbage. This will help create thin, uniform strips of cabbage.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Don't overdress the slaw. Too much dressing will make the slaw soggy.
  • Serve the slaw chilled. This will help keep the broccoli and cabbage crisp.

Conclusion:

Creamy Easy Broccoli Slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
