With everyone wishing the winter OVER, I had to make this salad that reminds me of warmer times, so I could at least tell my mouth, that summer will soon be here. If you can wrap your mind around these tastes actually working WELL together, get brave & try this GREAT summer salad. It's incredibly yummy, and very very tasty!! i can never find broccoli slaw @ my grocer's, so I just chop fresh broccoli flowerettes into the pre-packaged slaw mix.
