This broccoli slaw has changed my mind, i have never been a fan of coleslaw. In fact, i used to call it cold-slop. I learned two things that ended up making this recipe one of our favorites. First, my former west virginian roommate, brooke ann, gave me her recipe for coleslaw dressing. I like it much better than store bought dressing. Second, i learned that you could use broccoli stems instead of cabbage. This solved two problems for me because i never liked the broccoli stems, but i always felt bad throwing them out. I like to fill the salad out with some shredded carrots. They add a nice color and flavor. I hope you like it ~jennifer.
