Broccoli slaw is a unique and flavorful dish that blends the crunchiness of broccoli stalks with the creaminess of slaw dressing.

The taste is fresh and tangy, with a slight sweetness that makes it a mouthwatering addition to any meal.

You’ll need:

• 2 (12-ounce bags) of broccoli slaw
• ½ red onion, finely chopped
• 1¼ cups of mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
• 1¼ teaspoons of white sugar
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Substitutions And Additions

ONION: The red onion in this slaw adds great flavor; however, if you’re not a huge fan of onions, they could be left out. You could also use green onions instead for a little bit more of a mild onion flavor.

VEGETABLES: The great thing about broccoli slaw is that you can add additional veggies as you like. For example, I love to add peppers of all colors to this recipe.

DRIED FRUIT AND SEEDS: For a burst of sweetness, you could add dried cranberries or golden raisins to your slaw. You could also toss in crunchy sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.

How To Make This Broccoli Slaw Recipe

Once you make the creamy dressing, you can mix it up with the bags of broccoli slaw and onion before serving. It couldn’t get any easier than this!

STEP ONE: In a large bowl, add the broccoli slaw and chopped onion. Set aside.

STEP TWO: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Use a whisk to mix the dressing ingredients together.

STEP THREE: Pour the dressing over the broccoli slaw.

STEP FOUR: Use tongs to toss the salad until it is well dressed.

STEP FIVE: Add additional salt and pepper to taste.

STEP SIX: Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve. For best results, let the slaw spend as much time soaking up the dressing as possible.

Storing This Broccoli Coleslaw Recipe

Here’s how to store any leftovers of this crisp salad to keep it fresh for a few days.

IN THE FRIDGE: The best way to store your tasty broccoli coleslaw is to refrigerate it in an airtight container. Properly stored, homemade broccoli slaw will last for 3 to 5 days in the fridge. It’s also best to store it in the refrigerator between servings to keep it as fresh and crisp as possible.

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze leftover slaw to extend shelf life, although it is not recommended because this recipe calls for mayonnaise to make the creamy dressing. Mayonnaise does not freeze well and tends to separate when it is thawed. This can leave you with a watery dressing.

This tasty broccoli slaw is a delicious salad with a unique twist on a traditional coleslaw mix. Using crunchy broccoli slaw with a creamy homemade coleslaw dressing makes this cold salad out of this world. Your taste buds will love this fun new way to eat your slaw!
