Broccoli Slaw

Broccoli Slaw- vegan, plant-based

Broccoli, such a healthy cruciferous vegetable and I LOVE it!  We eat broccoli at least once a day (it didn’t use to be like that for me). Broccoli was one of the veggies I would wrinkly my nose up at. Maybe it was those limp, soggy broccoli memories from the food hall in college, but now I love it! 

When you have those memories of certain veggies, it can create an obstacle to #eatmoreplants!  A great way to overcome that is to eat the veggie differently – like in this tasty Plant-Based Broccoli Slaw.  A scrumptious, healthy recipe that is crunchy, creamy, and oil-free.

Here we have a creamy slaw to eat alone or use as a delish topping for rice and spinach.

We enjoyed our broccoli slaw as a side, paired with grilled mushrooms and potatoes, alongside rice, and even over rice nestled on a bed of spinach.  It is perfect!  We hope you enjoy this CSA-inspired recipe. Share how you enjoy this Broccoli Slaw on social media using #veginspiredfoodie.
