Broccoli Slaw

Finally I was brave enough to eat raw broccoli. Yeah, RAW. The trick is to cut it up really small to make it easier to eat. But still ..............

I took one tiny floret and chewed it. Bleagh! Never mind. It might taste better once mixed with mayonnaise and eaten with the rest of the ingredients.

I used a small head of broccoli, one carrot, one red onion and some dried cranberries. As for the mayonnaise, I used my homemade mayonnaise. 

I left the dressed broccoli slaw in the fridge for a few hours and when it was time to eat, I noticed that it tasted so much better after sitting. The broccoli softened and the flavor was more muted. Well, this is good!

I ate the Broccoli Slaw with roasted chicken and they went so well together.

So now in addition to coleslaw, I can add Broccoli Slaw to my list of salads.
