I’m a huge fan of slaws – they are usually easy to make and are a super versatile side dish to almost anything. I get sick of leafy green salads after awhile, but don’t always feel like a hot vegetable side either. That’s where this slaw comes in.
It’s made from the store-bought broccoli slaw mix that you can find in your grocer’s produce section – so you don’t need any fancy equipment or knife skills to make this happen. The dressing is easy to throw together as well, meaning you could be eating this slaw in five minutes or less. In fact it will take you less time to make this slaw than it will for me to finish typing up this post!
Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s broccoli either. For some reason there is very little broccoli flavor in this slaw – even Mr. Hungry, a sworn broccoli hater from childhood had some at dinner time and loved it! Hungry Jr. was a little harder to convince, but he did eat what I gave him, and I think it was more the creamy dressing that he wasn’t a fan of then the fact that it was broccoli.
In fact if you didn’t tell people that it was broccoli, I don’t think they would guess on their own – so that might be the way to go if you’re serving it to your broccoli challenged family. ;)

A nice bonus is that this broccoli slaw recipe keeps really well in the fridge, and the flavors actually improve over time in my opinion. You’ll see it featured in the Week 3 Keto 7 Day Menu Plan coming up this Saturday. But if you don’t want to wait – by all means make it ASAP!

I think this recipe is very easy and delicious, but a little too sweet for me. I didn’t have celery seed spice and I omitted the olive oil, but I did add an additional 1/4 tsp of pepper to give it more of a kick. Next time, I will cut the sugar substitute by 1-2 tsp. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I also count my macros so the total recipe came out to 523 g. A serving of 130 g came out to 2.2g protein, 13.5g carbs, 4.9g fat, 554 mg sodium. This is without olive oil.
Just made this recipe. Tastes great, getting it ready for tomorrow. Only changes I made was omitting the olive oil, but I did chop up some red onion, just a lil. Also grated a radish into it also. I never had the chance to work with broccoli slaw before, so this was my chance. Great keto recipe, woo hoo!

I made this adding onion, summer squash noodles, and an apple chopped finely. Topped with sunflower seeds.
I am getting ready to make this for the 10+ time and figured I owed this recipe a review. This stuff is ADDICTIVE and refreshingly AWSOME! I buy the Kaleslaw salad mix from Walmart for this and it works wonderfully. Thanks for the recipes! You guys ROCK!

Anybody tried this recipe using regular coleslaw mix? We already have a broccoli dish with our Christmas dinner.
How would this keep in the fridge? If I made it for a week, would it be ok mixed? Of should it be mixed with the dressing just before eating?
Letting it sit it the fridge for a couple of days even is fine. Try adding some sunflower seeds and or low sugar craisins…
Alternative to broccoli slaw…spiralized kohlrabi, my new favorite vegetable. Tastes like the sweet inside of broccoli stems after you have taken off the tougher outer peel. Sooooo good. This would be a perfect salad for it.
Thanks Melissa!
I loosely used this recipe. Not as much sugar and no celery salt – added Frank’s RedHot and 4 pieces of bacon. A little bit of red onion as well. It was delicious!!
