This delicious Broccoli Slaw Salad is perfect as a meal or side dish. When serving as meal prep, try with a bit of chopped chicken and crunch dry noodles.
Ingredients
This is a recipe that mom developed to help get some healthy greens into her diet without compromising flavor. This is definitely a flavor-packed dish. She puts it in six 2-cup containers to eat almost every day of the week.
For protein, this recipe uses Chick Peas, or Garbanzo. These are kind of bland and allow the other flavors to come through. You can use any of your favorite beans. Add a handful of chopped cooked chicken for even more protein.
If you have some other vegetables, maybe some leftovers, you can easily add more to this. Last week, I saw that mom added a drained can of artichoke hearts. The key is to be creative and have this already prepped. So, when you get hungry, you always have it handy.
Add crunchy chow mein noodles sprinkled on top. The added crunch make it satisfying. Wasabi peas? You bet! Just remember that everything you add will add to the 100 calories per serving of the salad alone.
Low Calorie Sauce or Dressing
The inspiration for this recipe was the Sweet Chili Sauce from Vivid Kitchen (aff link). When you’re trying to eat healthier, flavor is sometimes the sacrifice. Finding a good low calorie sauce is so beneficial to sticking with it.
I use the entire bottle of sauce here. I know that sounds like a lot. But, I’m making 12 servings of slaw salad. The bottle is 11 servings. It’s not really as much as you think. You can always use less, though.
Watch the sodium. If you need to reduce your sodium, you’ll want to add less of the sauce because there’s quite a bit.
This Sweet Chili Sauce is slightly spicy. You may want to start with half and move up to your taste. Or, maybe you have a different sauce you prefer? You can use your favorite vinaigrette.
