Broccoli coleslaw is made with a bag of shredded broccoli slaw mix, mayonnaise, vinegar, and celery seed. Just toss the slaw with the dressing for a quick side dish.
Broccoli coleslaw is a super quick recipe for those nights when you want a light and tasty side dish without pulling out another pot or pan. Simply toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl and give it a quick stir to combine. You have a satisfying side dish or a crunchy filling for sandwiches or lettuce wraps. Broccoli slaw is delicious with Instant Pot Pulled Pork Sliders or Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches.
You can serve this recipe immediately at room temperature. However, for best results, cover and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or overnight) to give the flavors a chance to combine.
Broccoli Coleslaw Recipe
Broccoli Slaw Ingredients:
- Bag of broccoli slaw
- Fresh parsley leaves
- Mayonnaise
- Apple cider vinegar
- Whole celery seed
- Sugar
- Dried fruit such as cranberries and blueberries
- Pumpkin seeds
- Salt and black pepper
Broccoli Coleslaw Directions:
Open the bag of broccoli slaw and add it to a large bowl. Toss in the parsley.
Next, add the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, sugar, and celery seed. Celery seed is one of those spices that you don’t notice until it’s not there. It’s the secret ingredient to our Easy Homemade Shake and Bake Chicken Mix. If you don’t have it, you can skip it, but it really is worth having in your spice rack.
Stir well to completely coat the broccoli slaw with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The basic broccoli coleslaw is ready to eat or you can add in some optional add-ins.
For a little added flavor, stir in 1-2 cups of dried fruits such as cranberries or blueberries. The dried fruit adds a nice sweet touch to the slaw.
Seeds are another option to add to the coleslaw. 1/2 cup to 1 cup of pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds works well for a little variety. The added saltiness helps balance out the flavor.
Serve the broccoli coleslaw immediately or place it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to chill if desired.
