Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package (12 ounces) Broccoli slaw mix
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Apple-cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Put the 12-ounce package of broccoli slaw mix in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, granulated sugar, apple-cider vinegar, and salt until the dressing is completely smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the broccoli slaw and toss thoroughly until the shredded broccoli stems, carrots, and cabbage are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Toss once more just before serving.

Notes

For the best texture, dress the slaw shortly before serving or chill it for no more than a few hours. Overnight refrigeration can make it softer and watery. If the slaw seems too thick after chilling, loosen it with 1 to 2 teaspoons of apple-cider vinegar or milk.
