🥗 Creamy Crunchy Broccoli Apple Slaw
🧺 Ingredients
For the slaw:
-
4 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped (or use a bag of broccoli slaw mix)
-
1 large apple, julienned or thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Fuji work great)
-
1 cup shredded carrots
-
½ cup red cabbage, thinly sliced (optional, for color and crunch)
-
⅓ cup red onion, thinly sliced
-
⅓ cup dried cranberries or raisins
-
¼ cup sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts
-
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
For the creamy dressing:
-
½ cup mayonnaise (or use half Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
-
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
-
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Prep the veggies and fruit: Chop broccoli into small pieces if using whole florets. Julienne the apple (skin on is fine). Combine with carrots, cabbage, onion, cranberries, and seeds in a large bowl.
-
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Mix it up: Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss well to combine. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
-
Chill (optional but recommended): Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld and for the slaw to soften slightly.
-
Serve: Garnish with extra seeds or parsley, and enjoy cold!
