This is a very easy, colorful and delicious salad or slaw that uses shredded raw broccoli stalks instead of cabbage and usually carrots and red cabbage or radicchio for color. You can find packaged broccoli slaw at most markets now or make your own.
- 3 cups broccoli slaw (shredded broccoli stalks, carrots, red cabbage)
- finely chopped green onions (optional)
- ¼ cup dried figs, dates, unsweetened cranberries or other dried fruit; cjopped mang, apple, pears also good
- 1/3 cup chopped roasted macadamia or hazel nuts
- 5 radishes, thinly sliced
- ½ chopped red, green, and/or yellow chopped bell peppers
- chopped avocado
- chopped parsley, cilantro, mint, dill, or other herbs
- hemp, flax, or poppy seeds
Dressing
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons olive or avocado oil
- 1-2 dates, chopped or seasonal fruit like pears or apples, but most fruit would work
- salt & black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp turmeric power
- toasted sesame seeds, grated ginger (optional)
Blend dressing, if dates or other fruits are used, otherwise, just mix ingredients.
Toss all ingredients, except nuts, and refrigerate for several hours to blend flavors. Add nuts and serve. Nuts may be served separately as some may have nut allergy.
NON-VEGAN: Add can of drained chicken or tuna or grated cheese or other leftover protein. Tofu also may be marinated in dressing to give it more flavor.
DRESSING OPTIONS: Lemon juice and zest good with avocado oil mayo, black pepper, turmeric, curry, chimichurri, or za’atar spices. Korean gochujang would also be good.
