Broccoli slaw is a salad that is a variation of traditional coleslaw, prepared using shredded raw broccoli stalks substituted for cabbage. It may also contain mayonnaise, purple cabbage, carrots, vinegar or lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. It is commonly served at potlucks or “covered dish” parties.
This time of year many of us buy sweet little fruits in the citrus family. Mandarins are a type of orange and include tangerines, Cleos, Cuties, Pixies, Clementines, and Satsumas. They are generally smaller and sweeter than oranges, a little flatter in shape, and they have a thinner, looser skin that makes them easier to peel. I wanted to use Mandarins in an easy salad bursting with flavor. I’m using fresh tangerines but you could use any type of Mandarin orange. In the summer, buy canned Mandarin sections to use. It’s like adding sparkling sunshine to your salad.
