Tired of the same old cabbage cole slaw? Here is a recipe that I created for a slaw that used broccoli as the main ingredient. This is a quick and easy recipe and it is a good accompaniment to BBQ, baked ham, or just a plain old sandwich…
Ingredients
1 large broccoli crown
2 green onions
5 red radishes
1 stalk of celery
1 large carrot
1 cup grated medium cheddar cheese
1 cup of mayonnaise
4 tbs sugar
2 tbs white wine vinegar
salt and pepper
Starting with the broccoli, slice up the stem then chop. Cut individual florets from the crown. Use all the broccoli. Add this to a glass mixing bowl. Then chop the green onions, radishes, celery and carrots. Add to bowl and combine. Your mixture should resemble the one below:

Next you want to add in the cheddar cheese.

Next, in a bowl add the mayonnaise, sugar, white wine vinegar and a couple of shakes of salt and pepper. Mix until mixture is smooth.
Slaw sauce mixture
Add this to the bowl of mixed vegetables, and combine to ensure that the dressing covers the vegetables.
The finished slaw
Let this sit for about a day. The juices from the vegetables will increase as they do in a regular cole slaw. This makes about 6 servings. Enjoy the flavors!
