Apple Broccoli Slaw

Submitted by Hey Jude

"I'm always looking for new, different, dishes to have as sides for BBQs. I loved this one because it's so easy to throw together without too much chopping and mixing. I found this in an old Cooking Light special edition."

Im sorry but this was really bad. The idea was great but the dressing was awful. I ate two bites and had to throw it out.

This was very tasty and a hit with DH (I was rather hoping he wouldn't like it). DD didn't care for it at room temp but she liked it chilled (I think the bite of the vinegar had mellowed by then-not sure as I didn't get anymore after that point!). I have a feeling I will be making this very frequently. I only used broccoli-not the slaw mix-so I may add baby carrots next time. I used date sugar instead of brown sugar and used just a touch more of it. I also subbed slivered almonds for the sunflower seeds. Thank you!

This was very good. I made it for a "fish fry" party we were having and I wanted something a little different - this fit the bill!

Delicious - I loved this simple salad which was great for a change. I used a (16 oz) package of coleslaw mix and 3 apples (1 granny smith and 2 red apples). We served this with pork chops but we are also having it tomorrow with fish! A great salad for both children and adults! Thanks for sharing!
