This is the feel-good salad with barely any chopping required.
If you see kosher broccoli slaw (made from the broccoli stems only) in your local supermarkets, this is what you should prepare with it.
Honestly, I never was compelled to buy broccoli slaw because what would I do with it? I like my cole slaw the regular way, with cabbage. And I didn’t want to put mayo on yet another salad.
I’m not sure if this qualifies as a salad, or rather a slaw, but no matter what you call it, it will be a new favorite. I’ve been making it on repeat lately.
Maybe because it’s just so easy to prep and there’s barely anything to chop. It’s just equal amount of broccoli slaw, red cabbage, and kale. There’s very little thinking required.
Or maybe because it’s so genuinely healthy.
Or maybe because of that crunch. Just that little bit is perfect.
And there’s no mayo in this slaw. Just the simplest lemon vinaigrette that whisks together in seconds.
Just toss it all together.
We also like this with pomegranate seeds! The flavors of this salad are even better when made a couple of hours ahead, so go ahead and toss. There’s no need to wait.
