Preparation Steps:
- Begin by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. This ensures they are clean and ready for your slaw. Next, julienne the broccoli stems and carrots into thin strips. Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, slice the red cabbage, and thinly slice the red onion.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned broccoli stems, broccoli florets, julienned carrots, sliced red cabbage, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss everything together to create a colorful medley of vegetables.
- Now, it’s time to add the toasted sliced almonds and dried cranberries to the bowl. Reserve some almonds and cranberries for garnish later. Gently mix them into the slaw, allowing their flavors to meld with the vegetables.
- Prepare your coleslaw dressing according to your recipe, omitting the celery seed. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated.
- For the best flavor, let the Broccoli Slaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to develop and the slaw to become even more refreshing. When ready to serve, give it one last toss, garnish with the reserved sliced almonds and dried cranberries, and enjoy!
Notes
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or a vegan alternative to your coleslaw dressing.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a spicy kick.
- Feel free to experiment with different nuts or seeds, such as sunflower seeds or walnuts, to personalize the crunch factor.
- This slaw can be made ahead of time, making it a perfect option for meal prep or gatherings.
