FAQ's

Tips

• If you're making your own dressing, mix it ahead to save some prep work at dinner time.
• Add rotisserie chicken or shrimp to the recipe for additional protein.
• You can assemble this salad ahead, however, I don't recommend dressing the salad until you are ready to serve.
• This mayo-free salad is a great side for barbecues and summer parties!

Variations

• For a peanut-free salad, use a poppy seed dressing, and leave out the nuts in the salad.
• If you enjoy spice, double the red pepper flakes in your dressing.
• Not a fan of spicy foods? Leave out or reduce the red pepper flakes in the dressing.
• Use coleslaw mix instead of broccoli slaw if you already have it on hand.
• Sweeten the salad dressing with 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup.

Storage

This salad is best eaten immediately, the next day, the salad will be wilted.

The dressing can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week.
