Coleslaw is a staple in our house—we love using it as a crunchy filling for sandwiches or wraps, as a filling for baked potatoes, and as a side salad—especially for pulled pork or Crock Pot Fried Chicken!
This super quick recipe uses a bag of broccoli slaw mix for speed and convenience; however, you can shred your own veggies if you prefer.
The dressing and slaw mix are tossed together in a bowl—it’s as simple as that! So, when you need a light and tasty side dish with minimum fuss, put this broccoli slaw recipe on your list!
Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe
You may already have some of the basic ingredients for this recipe – the full list with measurements is found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
For your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients and equipment needed for this recipe have been listed below and linked to Amazon or other stores if available online.
- Avocado Oil Mayonnaise – this type of mayo is perfect when eating low carb/keto/paleo. In the UK you can find it in Holland & Barrett. You can use regular mayo if you prefer.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – has great health benefits including antioxidants.
- Whole Celery Seed – if you’re not a fan of celery (like me!) you can leave this out and add in another herb if you prefer.
Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog! I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. You can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).
