Healthier Broccoli Slaw Salad 

Simple slaw salad with a delicious tangy dressing. You may want to double the dressing recipe like I do to use on other salads. It stays good in the fridge for 3 days – just give it a good whisk before you use it.

If you are trying to eat healthier, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli should be at the very top of your list! Just one cup of cooked broccoli offers as much vitamin C as an orange and is a good source of beta-carotene.

Broccoli contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Broccoli provides fiber and is low in calories while being very satisfying (when prepared well!) and dense in nutrients.
