Ingredients
Broccoli Slaw
- 2 cups shredded broccoli stems
- 3 cups small broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
Coleslaw Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup, or honey
- 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 teaspoons dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon celery seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut the stalk from the head of broccoli, then remove the stems from each of the broccoli florets. Separate the stems and florets.
- Use a food processor with a shredding blade, a shredder attachment on a KitchenAid stand mixer, or a box grater to shred the broccoli stems. Add them to a bowl, then dice up the broccoli florets into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the shredded stems.
- Add the shredded red cabbage and carrots to the bowl.
- Prepare the dressing by whisking the mayonnaise, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Pour the coleslaw dressing into the bowl with the broccoli, cabbage and carrots. Toss to combine everything.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- All of the ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten free. To make this broccoli slaw dairy free, use a vegan mayonnaise substitute in the dressing.
- You can also make this recipe with a 12 ounce bag of broccoli slaw mix, combined with 3 cups of broccoli florets, instead of combining the shredded cabbage, broccoli, and carrots at home yourself.
- Store any leftover broccoli slaw in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Since the slaw has already been tossed in the dressing, it will only keep it’s crunchy texture for up to 1 day.
- Optional additions:
- ¼ cup diced green onions
- ½ cup minced red onions
- ½ cup raisins or dried cranberries
- ½ cup thinly sliced cucumber or celery
- ½ cup cooked, crumbled bacon
- ½ cup cashews or almonds
