EASY BROCCOLI SLAW

This is a fast, easy, and very tasty broccoli salad made with broccoli slaw. I use light products where possible, but you can certainly use whatever you have on hand. This recipe is just the start! You can also add diced apples or crumbled bacon. This is also a great dish to make ahead of time. I'd say it's at its best after at least a day.

CREAMY & EASY BROCCOLI SLAW



Creamy & Easy Broccoli Slaw image

Get this; my kids won't eat regular coleslaw, but when I make it with broccoli they will! This is more similar to regular coleslaw than what is standardly prepared with packaged broccoli slaw. I make mine without onion, and usually without peanuts. (The ingredients will not allow me to enter just broccoli slaw; it appears as broccoli coleslaw mix, but in the produce section it will just say broccoli slaw)
