Are you familiar with those salads that come in a bag? They typically have candied nuts, dried fruit, and unhealthy dressings that are fattening. This is 10 times better than those salads! It’s crunchy, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make. This salad or slaw also utilizes something that most people discard: the broccoli stem. Broccoli stems are incredibly nutritious and they add a lovely crunch for optimal texture. You just need a grater or mandolin with a shredder attachment.

Another great thing about this slaw is that you can prepare it ahead of time and it will stay crunchy for a while. Both broccoli and kale hold up nicely, making this salad excellent for meal prep, parties, or even leftovers. That’s right, folks, you can dress this slaw, enjoy it for dinner, and save the leftovers for the next day. Although, we must say that it holds up better if you don’t dress the slaw all at once.

The last and most important thing to remember, in regards to prep work, is that you must discard the thick kale stems. They taste bitter and have an unpleasant, fibrous texture. Simply separate the leaves from the stems, and give them a fine chop. Use those fancy knife skills!
