Summer Broccoli Slaw Salad

Summer Broccoli Slaw Salad
Well, summer is officially here! Jesse and I enjoyed the summer solstice by taking a nice stroll and finding an outdoor patio to enjoy a couple happy hour cocktails. Once we walked back home, it was time to start dinner. I didn’t want to fuss with much and already decided prior we would have chicken breast and garlic scapes, but wanted a refreshing side salad to go with it. Luckily, I almost always have a bag of broccoli slaw in my fridge. Seriously, I love this stuff and its versatility. It works well for hot dishes or cold, and is one of my favorites in a veggie and meat sauté.

Normally, I think salads like this taste better the next day, but Jesse and I both liked it better the day I made it, after letting it marinate for about 20 minutes. It still tasted good the next day, but was a bit more mustardy tasting from the Dijon. It was more subtle on the day I made it and I guess we both liked it better that way.

Enjoy!

    I love broccoli slaw and just bought a bag yesterday! I usually go with a mustard based dressing too. if I have homemade mayo on hand I mix that with the mustard but my other favorite is an Asian style dressing (sesame oil, coconut aminos, coconut or brown rice vinegar and even some of that mayo). Broccoli slaw is so convenient and versatile–it’s a weekly grocery item for me

      That Asian-style slaw sounds delicious! Homemade mayo would be definitely taste awesome mixed with it. It’s just one of those condiments that I don’t always have made though. I’m overdue on making a batch! I need to get the right oil (I prefer avocado or mac nut oil for my mayo).
