Notes
- *Dressing: This salad is lightly dressed for lots of crunch and fresh flavor. The dressing can be doubled if desired.
- To shred your own slaw: You can also finely chop some of the broccoli florets and add them in along with shredded carrot and/or cabbage.
- Store leftover salad in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before reserving.
- Rinse the stems and peel away the tough outer layer.
- Cut the stems into fine matchsticks (julienne) or shred them with the largest holes on a box grater or food processor. I prefer fine matchsticks in this recipe.
- Use in place of bagged slaw in the recipe below.
