A Different Take on Coleslaw
In many ways, this recipe isn’t all that different from your typical coleslaw. It includes essential ingredients like cabbage, carrot, and apple cider vinegar.
But here’s the twist: it’s not drowning in mayonnaise. We all know those coleslaw bowls that are so heavy on mayo you can hear the slaw squish from miles away.
Instead, we’re making a refreshing and nutritious broccoli slaw. Fresh broccoli in a cold salad is a game-changer, and this simple but delightful recipe is proof. You still get the traditional cabbage with an extra boost of nutrients from the broccoli.
And forget about the mayo overload. This slaw features a delightful avocado dressing. Blended with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, the avocado creates a light, elegant drizzle for a sophisticated salad. Finish it off with a sprinkle of flaked almonds for some added crunch.
Why You Need to Eat More Broccoli
As a kid, I dodged broccoli at all costs, much to my mom’s frustration. One particularly dramatic “reverse eating” incident earned me a lifetime exemption from broccoli. But that didn’t do me any favors—so many missed nutrient opportunities!
Now, as an adult, I’ve come to appreciate broccoli for the nutritional powerhouse it is. Packed with vitamin K, vitamin C, chromium, and folate, broccoli offers a lot of health benefits.
Research even suggests that eating just half a cup a day or a two-cup serving twice a week can provide significant health benefits, including potential links to cancer prevention.
