Broccoli Slaw serves shredded broccoli, carrots and red cabbage in a creamy, sweet-tart dressing.
Slaws are easy for summer meals and entertaining. You can serve slaw as a side. Slaw also makes a great burger and sandwich topper.
I love what the deli lingo calls New Your Sloppy. A big blob of crunchy cole slaw on fresh sliced corned beef or turkey. My kind of sandwich. So good!
We often think of cole slaw as made with cabbage as the star vegetable. That isn’t necessarily so.
Cole Slaw gets it’s name from vegetables known as cole crops.
Cole crops refer to plants belonging to the Cruciferae family. Some of these cool weather loving crops include broccoli, Brussels sprout, cabbage, cauliflower, and turnips.
Gardeners can get a spring and autumn crop if the weather is right.
My Broccoli Slaw uses slivered broccoli as the main veggie. I threw in carrots and red cabbage too!
