BROCCOLI SLAW SALAD WITH APPLE - BROCCO SLAW



Broccoli Slaw Salad With Apple - Brocco Slaw image

This is an easy, quick salad that even kids love. It's a good way to get them to eat broccoli if they think they don't like it! Most supermarkets have packaged brocco slaw in the produce section. If not, you will have to make very thin matchsticks of broccoli stems, about 2-3 inches long. Don't use the crowns at all. You will need to add in 5% shredded carrot and 5% shredded red cabbage to the broccoli matchsticks. Then continue with the recipe. I just noticed that the review on this recipe exactly mirrors my review of her chicken divan recipe 6 months ago. Sad.
