head of broccoli
carrots
red onion
craisins
cashews (or other nuts you like)
sunflower seeds

3/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar or splenda (or skip it altogether) ...

I've forgotten how yumm this is ... dd made this for shabbos - didn't want to put in sugar so me and sonny boy sprinkled a bit on ours and the girls had no sugar at all - so I guess sugar is optional ...

I usually put the cashews in right before serving so they don't get too soggy.

This sounds yummy... almost like a fancy version of cole slaw...

I think I'll make this for Shabbat. Now... what do I make to go with this? LOL

Do you use raw broccoli? I've made this a couple of times and sometimes I used the frozen straight, and sometimes I cook it for a short while first. I was wondering what others do?

Do you cook the broccoli or do you leave it raw?

I make a similar recipe and I use a frozen bag of broccoli and pour over boiling water, let it drain and then let it defrost on the counter.

I do this w/o the carrots & sunflower seeds- but both sound like good additions.

I don't cook the broccoli - I use frozen & make sure it's fully defrosted. If you don't like it so crunchy but you don't want mush either, then place it in a strainer & run boiling water over it.

It was a TOTAL hit! I've been calling it 'pretentious cole slaw' Smile

usually use 1/2 the amount of mayo/vinegar/sugar

1/2 cup mayo
1/8 cup garlic wine vinegar
1/4 cup demerara sugar

mix the mayo so all the lumps are out & it's smooth - then add the vinegar & sugar - then add the diced onions

cut everything else & add it to the above

also I use baby carrots cut into strips so they are thicker than peels for a better crunch

mix in the nuts at the end - also a variety of nuts - we don't stick to one kind ... cashews, pistachios, almonds, et cetera

Thanks did this with dinner tonight. For some reason whenever I made this it was too vinegary. Thanks for measurements
