So, what’s so special about broccoli slaw, you ask? Well, it’s all the crunch and goodness of traditional coleslaw, but with a fun twist!

How to Make Your Broccoli Slaw

You won’t believe how easy this is. Seriously, if you can stir things in a bowl, you’ve got this!

Step 1: Grab a large glass or other non-reactive bowl (this just means something that won’t react with the vinegar — so glass or ceramic is perfect).

Step 2: Dump in the broccoli slaw, chopped parsley, avocado oil mayo, apple cider vinegar, and celery seed.

Step 3: Give it a good stir until everything’s nicely coated.

Step 4: Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

And just like that, you’re done! You can serve this crisp, crunchy slaw immediately if you’re in a hurry — it tastes great at room temperature. But here’s a little pro tip:

Planning Tip: You can serve this recipe immediately at room temperature. However, for best results, cover and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or overnight) to give the flavors a chance to combine.

Why You’ll Love This Slaw

Besides how ridiculously easy it is to make, this slaw checks all the boxes. It’s:

• Fresh and healthy: Thanks to that bag of broccoli slaw, you’re sneaking in a good dose of fiber and nutrients.
• Crisp and crunchy: The texture is so satisfying! It holds up well, even after chilling.
• Perfectly tangy: The apple cider vinegar and celery seed add a little zing that pairs beautifully with the creamy avocado oil mayo.
• Super versatile: Serve it alongside grilled meats, toss it on fish tacos, pile it on sandwiches for extra crunch, or eat it straight out of the bowl — no judgment here!

Make It Your Own

One of my favorite things about this broccoli slaw recipe is how easy it is to customize. Want to switch things up? Here are a few ideas:

• Add a little sweetness: Toss in a handful of dried cranberries or raisins for a sweet pop that contrasts the tanginess perfectly.
• Get nutty: Sprinkle in some toasted sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, or walnuts for extra crunch.
• Turn up the herbs: Not a parsley fan? Try fresh cilantro, dill, or even a bit of mint for a different flavor profile.
• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for a little kick.

Tips for Storing Leftovers

If you somehow have any leftovers (unlikely, but possible!), just pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. The slaw will stay crisp and tasty for a couple of days, and it actually gets better as the flavors meld together.

There you have it — a quick, no-fuss side dish that’s bursting with fresh flavor and ready whenever you are. This super crisp and crunchy broccoli slaw is about to become your new secret weapon for effortless meals.
