My Tips

Part of what makes this recipe so simple is the incorporation of store-bought broccoli slaw mix. I love this stuff!

If you don’t want to chop anything, you can exclude the red cabbage.

You can double the recipe for really big crowds.

If you love the crunch, you can add some additional nuts. Toasted almonds or pecans would be amazing.
