Flavonoids in the skin of the toasted almonds on top of the slaw are not only powerful antioxidants, they add a hearty, nutty crunch.Culinary Technique Tip

Trader Joe's has a fabulous broccoli/carrot slaw which can be used as a substitute for the green cabbage/carrot slaw. I use it in Wok dishes as well and throw it in at the last minute so not to overcook.

Easy and simple yet very healthy recipe.
I always loved coleslaw. Ingredients are not hard to find and easily can be bought at all groceries and supermarkets.
Surely, I will add this to my healthy food lists and try doing it very soon.
Thanks.

Very good. I love vegetables but broccoli is not my favorite. Its a delicious way to eat what we all know is good for us.
