This broccoli slaw recipe is so simple and easy to throw together. I think you are going to love it.
I love recipes like that. The kind that you can quickly toss together and one that everyone loves.
I served this broccoli slaw the other evening with my grilled chicken legs. The crunch from the slaw and the flavor from the dressing I made went perfectly with the grilled chicken. But, this slaw recipe goes well with so many dishes. It is definitely one of my favorite go-to recipes.
I used a prepared broccoli slaw from the salad section of my grocery store as my based and then added a bit of onion and mixed it all together with my dressing.
From start to finish, I had this slaw made in less than 10 minutes.
I don’t know about you, but when a slaw recipe tastes that great and can be thrown together in a jiffy, I call it a keeper for sure!

Love this recipe. My husband said – make sure you keep this recipe! The apple cider vinegar gave a nice fruity, tart taste. Will definitely make it again!
Just made this and added sliced pealed apples. Used Rice Wine Vinegar and mayo, and omitted the lime juice. Otherwise, the same recipe and it worked! I’d make it again. Good!
We made this for the 4th of July. It was a huge hit and even better the next day! We left out the sugar, used coconut vingar instead of Apple cider vinegar, and cilantro instead of parsley. We added red bell pepper, bacon, and toasted pecans. Yummy. Thanks for the recipe!
We are having about 25 ppl at our house this weekend for a house warming party. Do you think I should double this recipe?
Hi Kristi,
I would. It makes a good amount, but it goes fast! Have fun at your party!
Can you use coleslaw instead?
I love this recipe and added bleu cheese and dried cranberries. Delish!
I love different slaw recipes. This sounds like a good one. You know I’m pinning it!
I’m a stay at home dad, chef, maid, nanny, etc. I like to make my wife low calorie, low cholesterol dishes as much as possible. Question: How important is the sugar in the dressing? Can I skip it and not ruin the recipe?
Hi Pat,
It just adds a bit of sweetness to the recipe. If you’d prefer, you could try it with raw honey instead.
I added a bit of EVO as it is so heart-healthy. We should all try to get a few tablespoons each day, and substitute it for most other oils. One reason to use lower-fat mayo (or make your own) is you have created “room” in the calories and fat to add EVO. Had a bit of green cabbage, so sliced that thin and added it too. As a nutrition scientist and college professor who tries to avoid refined carbs, I can say that the added sugar is an inconsequential amount per serving, and it usefully tempers the other acidic flavors. Feel free to add green or red/orange peppers. Healthy way to feed that coleslaw hunger! Should bad great on a burger or (dare I say) a hotdog? All things in moderation.
Broccoli slaw is one of my favourites! and if you are on a budget, get yourself a mini chopper (about ten dollars) and shred it fresh at about 1/3 the cost. A great way to use up broccoli and cauliflower stems.
