Broccoli Coleslaw

Chef Timothy Hollingsworth swaps thinly sliced broccoli florets for cabbage in this crunchy sweet-savory coleslaw.  Sometimes we substitute dried apricots or cranberries, or cherries for the raisins.

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices of bacon (4 ounces), cooked (or store bought bacon bits)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 large head of broccoli (1 1/4 pounds), cut into bite-size florets and thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the vinegar and sugar; season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the broccoli, raisins, onion, sunflower seeds and bacon;
  3. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl.

Make Ahead:

The slaw (without the bacon and sunflower seeds) can be refrigerated for 1 day. Bring to room temperature and add the bacon and sunflower seeds right before serving.

Serves:  6
