Creamy Broccoli Slaw
Perfectly crunchy and creamy, this creamy broccoli slaw combines shredded slaw mix with raisins, sunflower seeds, and green onions in a tangy-sweet dressing. It’s the kind of side that sneaks up on you—in a good way. One bite turns into five, and suddenly there’s just a lonely raisin staring back at you. Handy? Very. Weirdly addictive? Definitely.

Notes
This slaw is great for making ahead—it gets crunchier and more flavorful as it chills. For extra flexibility, try swapping in Greek yogurt, almonds, or craisins, or add shredded apple or celery seed for extra zing. Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Not freezer-friendly and not meant for reheating—serve chilled for best results.
