Ingredients
  

4 cups broccoli slaw mix (fresh or pre-packaged)

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

1/2 cup creamy dressing (such as tahini or a yogurt-based dressing)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: If not using pre-packaged broccoli slaw, finely chop the broccoli stalks and florets. Place the broccoli, shredded carrots, red cabbage, and green onions in a large mixing bowl.

    Add the Crunch: Fold in the toasted sliced almonds and dried cranberries (or raisins) to the vegetable mixture for added texture and sweetness.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the creamy dressing, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust the sweetness and seasoning according to your taste.

        Combine: Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss everything thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

          Chill: Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and for the slaw to soften slightly.

            Serve: Give the slaw a good toss again right before serving to redistribute the dressing. Enjoy your crunchy and vibrant Broccoli Slaw Salad!
