The first time I saw this recipe I knew I'd love it. In fact, since my two men don't eat broccoli, despite my best efforts, I made up a whole bowlful for myself. This is a great extra to bring to the table. It is delicious in sandwiches but most often I make a bowl of it for the table when I'm serving ham (and I have visitors). It keeps well for a few days and is very easily put together. I make it ahead of time and just keep it, covered in clingfilm, in the fridge until needed.
Broccoli Slaw
(Adapted from Smitten Kitchen)
1 head broccoli
50g flaked almonds*
50g dried cranberries*
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
*You can add more or less of these according to taste
Dressing:
60ml buttermilk
80ml mayonnaise
1 tblsp cider vinegar
1 tblsp maple syrup
Trim broccoli, cut into chunks then finely chop. I use a food processor and I throw in most of the stem.
Toss the chopped broccoli, almonds, cranberries, and red onion together in a large bowl.
Whisk the dressing ingredients in a small bowl with a pinch of salt.
Stir the dressing through the broccoli mixture. That's it!
