Why You'll Love This Salad
This is our favorite time of the year. Holidays are fast approaching and that means more gatherings and of course, more eating.
Say hello to this easy broccoli slaw! It's a cold, refreshing side dish (no cooking needed!). One bowl is all you need!
This quick and easy recipe is perfect for those meals when you want a light and tasty side dish without extra time in the kitchen. Each serving has about 4 net carbs which is perfect when serving with your choice of zero-carb meat; such as pork chops, grilled chicken, or steak.
Tips and Substitutions
Delicious, low carb keto broccoli makes a great slaw! Buy the broccoli already shredded and save yourself some time. As I said earlier, you can serve this slaw right away, but I find the flavor is best when it can sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or even overnight.
Alternative to Bagged Slaw
If you want to shred your own broccoli stalks instead of buying pre-made broccoli slaw, then simply julienne 4-5 broccoli stalks or shred them with a box grater. If desired, julienne or shred a couple of carrots, as well.
What's In It?
Keto Broccoli Slaw has the freshest ingredients for enhanced flavor!
Bag organic broccoli slaw - It's just so easy and convenient to use store-bought slaw mix since it's already shredded and has just the right amount of carrots mixed in.
Fresh parsley leaves - not necessary to use but dresses it up a little for a special occasion.
Avocado oil mayo - Creamy avocado oil mayo combined with a hint of apple cider vinegar makes it the best dressing for broccoli slaw. We love it!
Apple cider vinegar - gives the slaw a little zippy twang!
Whole celery seed - you may be surprised at just how much flavor these little seeds pack! They're not just for pickling or slaw; they're also a great addition to chicken and seafood.
How to Make It
Broccoli slaw is probably one of the easiest side dishes for any occasion!
