Luscious Broccoli Slaw Recipe

Print Recipe

This delicious slaw recipe is amazing. It has simple ingredients, which can be easily substituted and are gluten-free. As a side dish, it is just as happy served with grilled food on a warm summer day, as it is accompanying a roast or my tasty lentil curry. You may want to double the ingredients if you are serving a crowd. This dish serves 4, as a side.

Ingredients

Scale

For the salad:

  • 2 large broccoli stalks, peeled (the single thick stalk you usually throw away)
  • 1 Gala apple (substitute this with a Granny Smith if you prefer more of a tang)
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled
  • 2 spring onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

For the dressing:

  • ½ cup Vegenaise (or mayo)
  • 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (substitute with white sugar if you prefer vegan)
  • ½ teaspoon English Mustard
  • Salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the broccoli stalks and apple (skin on) into matchsticks (or julienne)
  2. Roughly grate the carrots (if you prefer a more refined-looking salad, julienne the carrots too)
  3. Slice the spring onion once, lengthways and then chop along the width
  4. In your salad bowl, prepare the dressing by adding the Vegenaise, vinegar, honey and mustard and whisking with a fork until blended
  5. Add a couple of pinches of salt and a grind of pepper – taste and add more if necessary
  6. Add the rest of the salad ingredients and turn over a few times to mix well
  7. Serve and enjoy

Notes

This slaw can be made ahead and also keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ingredient flavours differ and the methods we as individuals use to prepare food are seldom the same. Our palettes also vary greatly and so what is salty for one person might require added salt for another. Use these recipes as a guide and taste throughout the process. Adapt the ingredients to suit YOUR taste, start with the suggested seasonings and increase if needed.

Experiment with your cooking and do not assume you have done something wrong if the taste does not work for you. Spice it up if you need more bite, salt it up if you need more salt, add more vinegar if you need more tang – or more oil if you need to bring down acidity.
