Notes
- For quick prep time: A mandoline, food processor shredding disk, or julienne peeler will help cut prep. To save more time, use a store-bought bagged broccoli slaw mix.
- Trim/peel the stalks: The peel can be very woody, tough, and fibrous, so make sure to remove it before slicing the stalks.
- Let it rest: For at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld and marinate.
