Homemade Coleslaw with Broccoli is the perfect summer side dish. Fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor- this is the tastiest and easiest coleslaw ever!
Coleslaw is one of those summer dinner staples that everyone loves. It can be made a variety of way with a number of different ingredients.
Some like it with a mayo dressing, others like it with more of a vinaigrette. Some like it sweetened, soaking in the dress, and yet others like just a tiny bit of dressing.
Regardless of how you like your slaw I hope you give my take on this recipe a try.

Why I love this coleslaw with broccoli recipe:
- Requires only a few ingredients
- There is no sugar in the dressing- I like to save sugar for my desserts!
- It is fresh and flavorful
- The added broccoli slaw makes it extra crunchy
- Lastly, I use pre-cut slaw mixes which are cheap, save a lot of time on cutting, and there is no leftover lettuce that goes to waste
What ingredients do you need?
- Mayo- Try my homemade olive oil mayo for extra creamy richness or use store bought 😊 both will be delicious
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Dijon Mustard- this is my favorite type of mustard to use but if you have a different kind, it will work too
- Celery Seeds- pick these up in the spice area at your grocery store
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 bag of tricolor slaw mix
- 1 bag broccoli slaw mix
- Parsley- the fresh flavor parsley adds is amazing!
This recipe makes a lot. Mixing two bags of precut slaw together results in about 15 cups of delicious homemade coleslaw.
The slaw is so good that I make that for just my family and we eat it in a few days. However, this would be the perfect about to bring to a BQQ or a picnic at the lake where there will be a lot of people.
The bright freshness of this side dish is so delicious you’ll understand why I love it so much!

Best Tips for Success
#1: Add only ¼ cup parsley to begin with, taste, then add more if you want. Parsley can quickly over power the other flavors and we don’t want that!
#2: Want to save extra time? Mix up the dressing a few days ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Then when ready to make the slaw just add to the slaw mix!
#3: Refrigerating for a few hours before eating allows the flavors to combine nicely.
#4: Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
