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)
