Reviews
I thought this was pretty good with some tweaks. I basically doubled everything but the slaw (mine was a 12 oz bag) and it was good. I’m excited to try it tomorrow to see if it is even better.
I agree with several reviewers that this slaw had little flavor with the ingredients used in the proportions listed. I increased everything and added some grated fresh ginger and about a tablespoon of honey. This made it acceptable, but still not great.
Kind of bland. I made exactly by recipe 1st time. Second time I added, about 1/2 t of five spice powder, sesame oil, onion, green pepper, celery red pepper and sunflower seeds. Yummy!
This is super easy and tasty. I add just a little more of everything to the broccoli than the recipe calls for to turn up the taste a little bit. My family actually thinks it is better chilled in the fridge the next day. Delicious and quick!
…I liked it. I think I want to try making this again but adding some garlic and ginger for a little more flavor.
Bad, no flavor
The only thing that would make this better is a bit of peanut butter…but then it might not be so healthy would it? For the others that object to the lime – if you don’t like lime in savory foods, don’t use it! Use a rice vinegar, or orange juice, but for those of us that like lime, it’s great!
This dish was really strange. I’m familiar with broccoli slaw and it’s the main ingredient in my most favorite salad recipe, so I was really excited when I saw this recipe, but this one was just too weird. Hubby tried it, but wasn’t impressed either. I might try it again sometime, but I will have to add something more (not sure what) to improve the flavor.
I cooked mine for until the veggies were a little tender and added a little soy sauce. It was great. My kids love veggies and this did not disappoint. We will be having it again.
I don’t quite understand the other reviews but everyone’s tastes are different. My wife and I absolutely loved this recipe and will make it again and again. We had it with the Beer Batter Tilapia recipe (another keeper) last night for dinner and it wilted up perfectly for us but still had enough crunch. It was a close call to burning the sesame seed but saved them just in time for perfect color and taste. Last night’s dinner menu was our first meal compliments of Robin Miller. We are definate fans of her show and cookbooks. Prior to last night’s recipe I had never even heard of broccoli slaw. I can’t wait for company to come to dinner because I know what menu to serve. Thumbs up and Hands Down a new family favorite!!!
