Easiest Way to Make Perfect Broccoli Slaw with Lemon Dressing Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Broccoli Slaw with Lemon Dressing. Our family absolutely loves broccoli, so I'm so happy there's finally a slaw mix in stores that uses broccoli stems. The chilling time is necessary so the slaw can marry with the honey-lemon dressing. This classic (and healthy!) Broccoli Coleslaw recipe is made with fresh chopped broccoli and loaded with cranberries and slivered almonds and dotted with red onions.

Pour dressing over salad and toss; refrigerate until ready to serve.

If you are unable to find broccoli slaw mix or prefer to make it from scratch, it's easy to do!

Just shred broccoli and peeled carrots using a box grater, then add some thinly sliced red cabbage.

You can have Broccoli Slaw with Lemon Dressing using 10 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Ingredients of Broccoli Slaw with Lemon Dressing

  1. It’s 1/2 c of sour cream.

  2. You need 3 T of lemon juice.

  3. It’s 2 T of mayonnaise.

  4. Prepare 1 T of white vinegar.

The combinations of acids (vinegar and lemon juice) and salt in the dressing will cause the broccoli slaw (or cabbage, or any veggie) to release water once it's all mixed together, which is why sometimes you'll find a bunch of water at the bottom of a bowl of coleslaw.
