Creamy Broccoli Slaw

This crunchy coleslaw uses a colorful mix of broccoli and green cabbage. The creamy dressing uses tahini as the base—for the mildest, least bitter tahini, look for one that's light beige instead of caramel colored. Dried cranberries add a pop of sweetness to balance.

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat; toast, tossing frequently, until golden and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.

  2. Meanwhile, combine cabbage, broccoli and dried cranberries in a large bowl.

  3. Combine tahini, garlic, lemon juice and salt in a small bowl; stir into a paste. Gradually whisk in water until the dressing is creamy.

  4. Add the toasted almonds to the cabbage mixture. Drizzle with the dressing; stir to combine. Season to taste with pepper.

To make ahead

Refrigerate salad (Step 2) and dressing (Step 3) separately for up to 2 days. Combine and add almonds just before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
