It's Greek To Me Broccoli Slaw

It’s Greek To Me Broccoli Slaw

If you follow this blog, you know that I love slaw, like Crack Slaw, and especially this Greek Broccoli Slaw!  I love the colors and the flavors!   It is fantastic with chicken, barbecue, picnics, and just about everything else. However, I don’t love mayonnaise in slaw.  Don’t get me wrong.  It tastes great. However, if this slaw is for a picnic or potluck and it sits out for a little while, that is not good.  Also, I can afford to do without the fat and calories…but not the flavor.

So, if I’m going to redo slaw, I want to make it healthier and make it taste so fabulous, you will never want mayonnaise in your saw again!   Skeptical….are you?  Well, my husband was too……at first.  He has now been converted and says I make the best slaw.   Yes.  He’s a smart man!

So how do I make this popular dish healthier and tastier you ask?  Ditch the mayonnaise! Round up a bag of broccoli slaw, the kind with red cabbage and shredded carrots.  I like Mann’s Broccoli Cole Slaw.  Yes.  I do take this shortcut. If you have the time, go ahead and shred the broccoli, cabbage and carrots. Using broccoli in your slaw boosts the nutrition tremendously.

However, what really makes this slaw flavorful is the red wine vinaigrette, feta cheese, and black olives.  For the most flavor, make this slaw a day ahead and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight so all the vinaigrette and seasonings and vegetables can do their slow dance together.   Trust me, this step makes a huge difference.  Plus it makes your day so much easier when the slaw has been made ahead and is just waiting to be served.  Go ahead and give it a try.  Let me know how you like it!
