Ingredients
6 oz broccoli slaw plain or w/carrot only10.6 g (3/8 oz) almonds sliced & toasted BLUE DIAMOND, optional1.5 oz sesame ginger NEWMAN'S OWN low fat dressing*(optional hot peppers flake or paste to taste)
Directions
Mix together the dressing, broccoli slaw** and the pepper.

Let the slaw marinade 10 minutes (optional).
FYI: marinade too long (hours or overnight) and the broccoli makes the dressing watery and not as flavorful.


Just before serving add the almonds.


Excellent low-fat dressings*:
sesame ginger PAUL NEWMAN'S OWN (most brands)
poppyseed dressing & 10-marinade DREW'S (haven't tried another brand)


Not so good low-fat dressings*:
italian
oil & vinegar
southwest


* All dressings tried are egg-free.

** Can't find broccoli slaw sometimes: used florets and baby carrots.

Note: broccoli SLAW and broccoli COLE SLAW are different. The COLE slaw contains cabbage; cabbage seems to be TOO BITTER for this dressing.

    I made this following the recipe and it was wonderful. Then I found I had a bottle of Marzzetti's cole slaw dressing in fridge and tried it with that and it too was delicious. Thank you for sharing. It is another easy way to eat veggies. - 6/9/08
