Paleo broccoli slaw with avocado, garlic and coconut milk FAQ:

How long can I store this slaw in the refrigerator?

The slaw can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, the texture may soften over time due to the moisture in the dressing.

What can I substitute for coconut milk in this recipe?

You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or cashew cream for a different flavor, but it will change the creaminess of the dressing.

How can I tell when the avocados are ripe enough to use?

Avocados are ripe when they yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a darker skin. If they feel firm and hard, they need more time to ripen.

Can I add other vegetables to this slaw?

Yes, you can add other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or radishes for extra crunch and flavor, keeping in mind that it will alter the flavor profile.

What is the best way to shred cabbage and broccoli for this slaw?

You can use a food processor, mandoline, or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage and broccoli. A food processor generally makes this task quicker and more uniform.

Cooking Tips:

- Choose ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.

- Use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor. Mince it finely to ensure it's evenly distributed throughout the slaw.

- You can adjust the quantity of mustard according to your taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a bit more.

- For a more colorful slaw, consider adding shredded carrots or purple cabbage.

- If you find the coconut milk too thick, you can thin it out with a small amount of water or additional vinegar.

- Ensure the cabbage and broccoli are finely shredded to make the slaw easier to mix and eat.

- Let the slaw sit for a bit before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
