If you’re tossing your broccoli stalks in the compost pile, you’re seriously missing out. Their tender texture and earthy sweetness make them arguably better than the florets that you typically enjoy. In this scrumptious coleslaw broccoli stalks are shredded into matchsticks and combined with carrots, scallions, and fresh herbs to create a crunchy medley. The creamy mustard dressing adds the perfect amount of tang to balance out the veggies. Serve this easy dish alongside veggie burgers at your next BBQ!

Tip: For optimal deliciousness, remove the toughest outer layer of broccoli skin with a vegetable peeler and cut off the fibrous bottom ½-inch of each stalk.

Please advise on this recipe. The picture shows ingredients that are cooked/browned in some way. However, the steps don’t mention this? Can you tell me how you get the browning and make them crunchy.

Hi Joe,
This recipe doesn’t require any browning or cooking, it’s likely the brown Dijon mustard kernels and the dark color of the soy sauce that you’re seeing in the picture that makes it appear that way. When you make the recipe don’t worry if it doesn’t turn out exactly like the picture – it will still taste delicious! Let us know how it goes.

Question – is coconut aminos an acceptable alternative to tamari? I find even low sodium tamari to be too salty.
Thanks1
