Broccoli Slaw


My easiest recipe yet! It takes a whole 5 minutes to prepare, scouts honor! This side salad is soo easy to prepare when you're running behind on time or not in the mood to prep those cumbersome, yet nutritious veggies. Cole slaw is usually loaded with sugar and lots of mayonnaise to give it its delicious taste. Now, with this recipe, your slaw can be lower in "bad" fats, sugar free, and loaded with the benefits of broccoli- Vitamins C and dietary fiber. Plus, it's colorful, deliciously crunchy, and satisfying.

Just wait until you see this procedure.

Ingredients:

1 package (12 oz) broccoli slaw*
1/4 cup orange muscat champagne vinegar
1/4 cup+ 1 tbsp. low fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup raw crushed walnuts, toasted
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 -1.5 packets Splenda (or any other sugar substitute)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

*I bought this pre-packaged slaw in a bag from Trader Joe's. If this is not available to you, julienne a head of raw broccoli and 2 large or 3 medium carrots.

Procedure:

Mix all ingredients. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes prior to serve time (or not). Serves 6. Enjoy!
