Recipe Notes
Broccoli slaw is a shredded coleslaw mix that can be found with the salad mixes in most well stocked grocery stores. The version I used is from Green Giant and includes shredded broccoli stems, shredded carrots and shredded red cabbage. You'll find that shredded broccoli stems are crunchy and mildly sweet.Serving size: about ½ cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.3*PointsPlus (Old plan)
