Broccoli Slaw

From the sum total of my last few food posts, you might think I subsist on a diet consisting purely of sugar and fat.

And sugar.

But believe it or not I do eat stuff that resides lower down on the food pyramid.

Take for example this delicious broccoli slaw!

Ingredients:

1 head of broccoli, raw

1 tbsp light mayo

1 tbsp horseradish mustard

1 tbsp extra light olive oil (tasting oil)

1/3 bag of salad (a mix with cabbage and carrot slices is preferable)

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Time commitment: veggie time!

Cost: about 6$

I always find restaurant and pre-made coleslaw to be bogged down in mayo. Not so with this broccoli slaw! Nice and hearty dark greens with a kick, and just enough mayo to remind you that you're not vegan.

If you are vegan, please don't include the mayo when you make this. I don't want the vegan police to come a-knockin'.

Cut the head of broccoli into florets. Then combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse chop until the broccoli is a manageable size and the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Voila! You just made a dish with vegetables in it! I'm so proud of you!

(I'm mostly speaking to myself there, but I'm proud of you too).

See Mom? I actually made it. Use it as a garnish, side dish, or entree. So versatile!

If you dislike veggies, tucking the slaw inside of a pita definitely helps. Or you could just not make this recipe. At least I tried?
