Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Slaw:
- 1 (12-ounce) package broccoli slaw*
- OR 4 cups shredded broccoli stems + 1 shredded carrot
- OR 4 cups combo of shredded cabbage + broccoli slaw (or any slaw mix)
For the Dressing:
- 1/2 cup Veganaise (OR your favorite mayo)
- 1.5 tablespoons honey (OR white sugar)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- a few spins freshly ground black pepper (about 1/8 teaspoon)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. I like to do this in the bowl I plan to serve this in.
- Add the broccoli slaw mix and gently toss it all together. Be patient and give it a minute if the dressing doesn’t look like enough (it is!)—the broccoli will start to release some water and it will all come together into a creamy slaw after a minute or so. Refrigerate until it’s time to serve.
- This slaw is best the day you make it, but it keeps well in the refrigerator (covered), up to 3 days. Cabbage-based slaw keeps in the refrigerator for about two days.
Notes
- *Broccoli slaw is easy to find near the packaged salads and lettuce in most grocery stores these days. I get mine at Whole Foods. If you can’t find it, you can use shredded cabbage or any slaw mix. Or, shred 6-8 large broccoli stems in a food processor with the shredding attachment, or shred it by hand with a sharp knife.
- The combinations of acids (vinegar and lemon juice) and salt in the dressing will cause the broccoli slaw (or cabbage, or any veggie) to release water once it’s all mixed together, which is why sometimes you’ll find a bunch of water at the bottom of a bowl of coleslaw. Use less dressing than you think you need and add more (or put some on the side) if needed.
