Why this recipe works

Broccoli slaw is so easy to throw together, you’ll wonder why you haven’t made it more often! While it’s ideal for a barbecue or alongside fried chicken, it really has no seasonal restrictions. We’re using quick ingredients that don’t require a ton of prep, which help it come together in a snap for last minute get togethers or prepping lunches for the week.

Ingredient Info and Substitute Suggestions

SLAW – A bagged broccoli slaw mix makes this salad so easy. It’s typically a combination of red cabbage, broccoli stems, and carrots all chopped uniformly. If you really wanted, you could absolutely chop everything up yourself instead!

DRESSING – A combination of salad oil, white vinegar, and granulated sugar is all you need to make the dressing. Olive oil and avocado oil are great salad oil options, and you can easily substitute the white vinegar for rice wine vinegar if preferred!

How to Make Asian Broccoli Slaw

Empty bag of slaw into a large mixing bowl.
Whisk together the oil, vinegar, and sugar.
Add remaining ingredients to the slaw and toss together.
Add dressing and toss until well coated.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Can you make Asian broccoli slaw ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely. You can prepare your Asian broccoli slaw a day in advance and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. I would suggest holding off on the ramen and the sesame sticks until you are ready to serve so they don’t get soggy.

How do you store it?

Store leftovers in an airtight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

What can I add to it?

Tasty additions would include chopped nuts, sesame seeds, ginger, or a few shakes of soy sauce. Feel free to play around with what you add!

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Asian broccoli slaw with spicy oven fried chicken, fish tacos, or grilled shrimp to name a few! This salad is best enjoyed chilled. Personally, I like to let it rest in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours to allow the dressing to mingle with the other ingredients. Enjoy!
