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!

    5 stars
    I love the bags of brocoli salad. So convenient and good! I add diced apple, walnuts and raisins to my slaw. I am going to try your dressing recipe. Sounds easy and delish! I am serving the slaw with Sweet Baby Ray’s crock pot chicken which I have added chunks of pineapple and red & green peppers to. Can’t wait to try it all tomorrow evening!

    Can lemon juice be used in place of lime?

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      Sure! It should work just fine!

  3. Elizabeth@ Food Ramblings says:

    pinned this– reminds me of summer BBQs!

  4. Amy says:

    What a great side to have on hand for any grilling dish. OR a great snack. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  5. Mary says:

    Just pinned this recipe for my hubby. He loves broccoli slaw, and this sounds like one I would really enjoy! Thanks Robyn….have a great weekend!

  6. Becky says:

    Why is 1/2 of a chopped red onion mentioned twice in the ingredient list?

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      ACK! Thanks so much for catching that, Becky. I’ve updated the recipe to clarify.

  7. Melissa says:

    So funny story about slaw and me…I was a few weeks pregnant and we told no one. I went to a neighbors party and she served some sort of slaw, I made a plate and took one bite and nearly lost my lunch. To this day I can not eat slaw of any kind. Not that you asked or anything, I am sure this is a lovely side.

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      Oh my goodness! Bless your heart!

  8. Amanda says:

    Well I never. What a GREAT idea! Love that addition of broccoli!

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      I could really eat it right by itself. Maybe I should do that so I can have a slice of your cake! ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says:

    I love this recipe! I buy the bags of broccoli slaw but never do anything creative with them.

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      Those bags are such lifesavers sometimes. Hope you enjoy the dressing I use with it.

    2. Tina Rung says:

      I just love this. My co-worker told me out broccoli slaw & I thought she was nuts!!! I eat it with boiled eggs cheese,& tomato. To die for!!! BTW….my boyfriend can eat a bag all by himself.

    3. Robyn Stone says:

      My husband can, too!!! ๐Ÿ™‚
