About


I’m still sticking with my wheat free/gluten free/dairy free diet, and I found this recipe on RecipeZaar by Hey Jude that would use a bag of broccoli slaw I’d purchased at Trader Joe’s this past weekend.
I really liked this salad. I used half the sugar the recipe called for, and added some chopped parsley and 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion.
This recipe is crunchy, sweet and tangy. I bet you could even convince broccoli haters to eat this salad.
It would make a great picnic salad, since there is nothing that could spoil in the heat.
