CREAMY BROCCOLI SLAW

When springtime rolls around, we are always on the hunt for a quick and easy recipe that makes a great sidekick to any meal. And when the temperatures rise, it's always nice to have a new way to serve the traditional salad recipe. Let's be honest, the same old greens can get tired and boring. That's why we were thrilled to taste the Test Kitchen's new spin on the broccoli slaw. Whether you're prepping for a potluck or planning a casual backyard luncheon, this recipe, which serves ten, is sure to please. The base of this easy-to-prepare salad is a slaw mix that you can pick up in the produce aisle at the local supermarket. Our Test Kitchen suggests the broccoli slaw mix or a standard cabbage, carrot, and red cabbage slaw combination. We love the addition of the toasted pecans and scallions for adding a nice savory touch, and that satisfying crunch, and the golden raisins add an unexpected hint of sweetness. Our secret ingredient is the lemon zest which keeps the slaw vibrant and extra fresh. If you want to make this salad a main meal, we recommend tossing grilled chicken into the mix. This is a light, refreshing, and incredibly simple summer go-to recipe.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings, 1 serving equals 1 1/2 cups coleslaw

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup lowfat Greek yogurt, or strained yogurt
1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 pounds broccoli stalks (from about 2 1/2 pounds broccoli bunches)
1 large or 2 medium carrots

Steps:

  • If using regular yogurt, place it in a strainer lined with paper towel and set the strainer over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain and thicken for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place sunflower seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet and shake to combine. Toast seeds until aromatic, about 10 minutes. Cool and reserve.
  • Combine yogurt, buttermilk, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Whisk to incorporate and reserve.
  • Peel tough outer layer of broccoli stalks and trim off 1/4 inch from bottoms of stalks (should be about 3/4 of a pound. tender broccoli stalks remaining). Shred stalks in food processor, then shred carrots. Combine shredded broccoli and carrots with dressing and toss to combine. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the vegetables: This will ensure that the vegetables are evenly sliced and will cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
  • Season the dressing to taste: The dressing should be creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet. Season it with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.
  • Serve the slaw immediately: The slaw is best served immediately after it is made. The vegetables will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Creamy broccoli and carrot slaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy dressing, crunchy vegetables, and sweet and tangy flavor, this slaw is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or party.
