Broccoli slaw with almonds, cranberries, and onions is a refreshing and nutritious dish that combines the crunchiness of fresh broccoli with the sweetness of dried cranberries and the nuttiness of almonds. This recipe is perfect for a light lunch, a side dish for dinner, or a healthy snack. The creamy mayonnaise dressing adds a delightful richness, while a hint of vinegar and sugar balances the flavors beautifully.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the broccoli spears thoroughly. Then, finely chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Peel the onion and finely chop half of it. Set aside the 3 tablespoons of chopped onion needed for later; you'll add this to the dressing.
- If your almonds are not already toasted, you can enhance their flavor by toasting them. Place the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before roughly chopping them.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, toasted and chopped almonds, dried cranberries, and the chopped half onion.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise salad dressing, vinegar, sugar, and the reserved 3 tablespoons of chopped onion. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved and the dressing has a smooth consistency.
- Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let the slaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
7. Enjoy!
- Once the slaw has chilled, give it one last toss and serve it cold as a refreshing side dish.
Tips:
- For extra crunch, lightly toast the almonds before adding them to the slaw.
- Use fresh broccoli for the best texture and taste. If possible, choose organic broccoli spears.
- To save time, you can use pre-shredded broccoli slaw mix that's available in many grocery stores.
- In place of mayonnaise salad dressing, you can use Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the dressing for an extra burst of flavor.
- Let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Broccoli slaw with almonds, cranberries, and onions is a versatile and delicious dish that can easily fit into your meal routine.
