Broccoli Apple Slaw is a delicious side dish to bring to a picnic.   Shredded broccoli (available in the produce section of the grocery store) is combined with broccoli florets, apples, dried cranberries, and onion to make a slaw that is crunchy, sweet, and creamy.  This slaw has mayonnaise so make sure to keep it out of the sun and out of the "danger zone" (40 F-140 F).  Serve this broccoli slaw alongside your fried chicken and cobbler for a fabulous outdoor meal.
