Broccoli Honeycrisp Slaw
Description
The Broccoli Honeycrisp Slaw blends the fibrous crunch of shredded broccoli stalks with the sweet juiciness of finely sliced Honeycrisp apples. The inclusion of floret tips provides subtle vegetable bursts, while toasted almonds add a crunchy contrast and currants provide a chewy, fruity bite. The dressing uses mayonnaise for creaminess, cider vinegar for acidity, and aromatic spices like onion salt and celery seed to tie the flavors together.
The preparation mixes all ingredients thoroughly to evenly coat the slaw with dressing. It can be served right away for a fresher bite or chilled for a softer melding of flavors. The bright and crisp texture is particularly useful as a side salad or complement to heavier dishes.
To toast almonds quickly, spreading them on a microwave-safe plate and heating on high for a couple of minutes brings out their nutty aroma efficiently without a stovetop.
Ingredients
- 4-5 cups broccoli stalk about 4 stalks, shredded
- 1 cup broccoli floret tips slice the green buds off florets
- 1 to 2 honeycrisp apples
- lemon juice
- 1/3 cup almonds toasted, slivered
- 1/4 cup currants dried
dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp onion salt
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
Instructions
- Put the shredded broccoli and floret tips in a large bowl.
- Slice the cheeks off the apples, then slice them into thin slices, and then stack them and slice into fine matchsticks. Toss the apples well with lemon juice to prevent any browning. Add them to the bowl along with the almonds and currants.
- Whisk together the dressing and taste to adjust any of the ingredients. I added a bit more salt and celery seed.
- Toss the slaw with the dressing, making sure to get everything evenly coated. Serve or cover and chill. Slaw can be made up to a day in advance.
Notes
- Toast slivered almonds in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes to enhance their flavor.
- Toss apples with lemon juice immediately after slicing to prevent browning.
- Slaw can be made up to a day ahead and chilled to allow flavors to meld.
