Broccoli Slaw Recipes

Broccoli slaw recipes are usually made with the stalks only but I prefer to use the tops as well.

I use a mandoline slicer with the julienne attachment. There is usually a thick piece left over but I just cut it up and throw it into the mix. I use the same attachment with the carrot and red onion.

There are many optional ingredients for this salad, things like nuts, raisins, dried fruit, etc. To make it simple I just added some raw trail mix to the salad, giving it some extra crunch and flavour.

Ingredients:

2 average sized broccoli heads with stems attached
1-2 carrots
1/4 cup red onion
1.5 cups trail mix

Dressing:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2-3 tbsp. sushi vinegar
1 tbsp. mustard
1 tsp.salt
1 tsp.Pepper
1 tsp. sugar(optional)

Take the broccoli and peel a thin layer from the stalk section. Disgard peelings. Peel the carrots and onion as well.

Shred the brocolli/carrot/onion into thin pieces using whatever method you have available. You can use a food processor, mandoline slicer, cheese grater or a knife. Whatever you use cut the veggies quite thin.

Put salad into a large bowl, add dressing and mix well. The dressing will seem to be a bit "dry" but the salad will produce liquid as it sits. Let it sit for a couple of hours or overnight, mix again and serve.

Here is another creamy dressing option as well as some oil/vinegar dressings you can use that work well in broccoli slaw recipes:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice

1-Standard Oil/Vinegar Dressing:

1/3 cup salad oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tsp. celery seed
1/4 tsp. garlic powder(optional)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

2-Brown Sugar Dressing:

2 tbsp. salad oil
1/4 cup(4 tbsp.) white vinegar
