Broccoli slaw salad is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch! With just a few ingredients that I can find right in the grocery store, I can whip up a healthy mid-day meal in less than 5 minutes!

You can also use it as a great sandwich topping as we did on our yummy turkey reuben recipe, or to serve as a side dish.

What is broccoli slaw?

Broccoli slaw is a mixture of julienned broccoli stalks, carrots, and sometimes a few added strands of purple cabbage to give it color. It's just like regular coleslaw but instead of using shredded cabbage and carrots, it's made with shredded broccoli stems instead.

There really isn't much to it, but when it comes to a flavorful crunch, and a place to put some extra fixings, this broccoli salad mix checks off all the boxes!

Ingredients for broccoli slaw salad

This is really the easiest salad to put together! I'm sharing how I like to prepare it and I will share more mix-in addition ideas in a bit.

You can find broccoli slaw in the produce section of the grocery store usually right next to the bagged salads and probably right next to the coleslaw!

• Broccoli Slaw- found in the produce section of the store. I order mine from Whole Foods when I can find it.
• Raisins– I like the dark raisins in this salad because they add just a little bit of sweetness.
• Pumpkin seeds– also known as pepita, these add even more crunch and a nice nutty flavor.
• Poppy Seed dressing– I prefer to use this delicious and rich homestyle poppy seed dressing by Briannas. It's super creamy and a little goes a long way!
