    Homemade Coleslaw with Broccoli

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    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 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!

    Fresh, Crisp, and Delicious!

    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!

    How to make broccoli slaw:

    1. Mix up the dressing by combining the mayo, vinegar, mustard, celery seed, salt and pepper.
    2. Rinse and chop the parsley.
    3. In a large bowl combine both types of slaw, the dressing, and the chopped parsley.
    4. Chill for a few hours and then enjoy!

    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.

    Broccoli Coleslaw FAQs

    Do I have to use prepackaged slaw mix?

    Nope. You can slice your one. If you want to cut your own, I recommend a mixture of green cabbage, red cabbage, broccoli, and carrots.

    What is broccoli slaw made of?

    I use a mixture of broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and add a mayo dressing.

    Can I make coleslaw ahead of time?

    I recommend making the dressing a day or two in advance and then adding it to the slaw mix the day you want to serve it.

    How long does broccoli slaw last?

    2-3 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.

    What do you eat with coleslaw?

    I recommend smoked chicken, tri tip, chicken strips, chicken salad or hamburgers. Serve with some fresh lemonade and baked brie!

    I hope you love this homemade broccoli coleslaw recipe just as much as I do!
