Light Broccoli Slaw

November 18, 2015 by Laura 14 Comments

Make a new healthy side dish with some Light Broccoli Slaw!  This easy dairy free vegan broccoli salad uses only 5 ingredients, making it a lighter version of traditional coleslaw.  Skip the excess calories but have all the crunch and added nutrition of broccoli stalks.Broccoli Slaw (dairy free Vegan)- Light and healthy coleslaw made from broccoli stalks tossed in a light oil vinegrette

 

Do you ever get so excited over an idea that you need to make happen, like now?  I’m talking the type you obsess over.  Days will pass and you just need. it.  Yes?  I hope you know what I’m talking about…

Instead of craving an amazing gooey chocolate treat or even cookies, I’m talking about the newest healthy food: broccoli slaw.  I know.  Completely out of character for me.  I’m crushing on something remarkably healthy as is and already naturally gluten free. Broccoli slaw.  It’s just like it sounds; shredded broccoli stalks that look and taste like cabbage slaw.

BUT
It is so much more that just cabbage broccoli.

Broccoli is one of those super foods loaded with minerals, vitamins, and cancer fighting goodness.  The best part of broccoli is the fact that my kids LOVE it.    <—- go ahead, you can hate me a little.  I know I am extremely lucky the kids will not only eat broccoli, but actually enjoy eating it too. 
I found this new slaw at Trader Joe’s when my husband pointed it out.  Do you remember Bok Choy Salad?  I don’t a recipe here since I’ve given it up long before this blog ever existed.  It’s a sweet and crunchy salad load with almonds, sesame seeds and sesame oil.  That was my go-to dish to pass at a party.  But I think I’ve found a new one…

So how do you think my kids reacted to this love fest of their favorite vegetable???

Broccoli was never created so disgusting in their eyes.  Come on guys, it’s really “broccoli”… was only met with noses up so high they scraped the ceiling.  Alas, my broccoli loving kids did not enjoy this version of coleslaw.

To be fair, they want nothing to do with real cabbage coleslaw either.  Oh well… More for ME. 😀

    Oh my gosh, we are big broccoli slaw fans and yours looks gorgeous! My kids love anything drenched in vinegar which is one way I try to get them to eat their greens for now haha. This is the perfect healthy lunch and side!

    Thank you. I just made it with shredded cabbage since that is what I had but I will definitely use the broccoli slaw next time. I am also using sunflower seeds since we do not have pumpkin. So, I didn’t make the exact recipe but I love that it is versatile and so easy!

    I had so much work to get done today, but after finding your site, I ran to the store and have made the broccoli slaw, the Raw Vegan Blueberry Bars and Pumpkin Seed Butter… Feeling accomplished!
