Coleslaw with Poppy Seed Dressing
Yesterday I was in the mood for coleslaw for lunch. I didn't want to use the herbed dressing I made recently or the more exotic coconut-ginger or sesame orange dressings I've used in the past. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I wanted it to be different. Then I remembered a recipe that Bryanna, author of several of my favorite cookbooks, posted a few days ago on her blog, and I thought it'd be perfect. And it was!
I combined shredded cabbage with packaged broccoli slaw; then I whipped up a batch of Low-Fat Poppy Seed Dressing. I followed Bryanna's recipe as written, with one small change: I used only 2 tablespoons of maple syrup instead of 6. I also used her suggestion to add a little lemon zest. The result was a delicious, creamy dressing that tasted lovely on coleslaw, and I have plenty left-over to use on other salads.
Thanks, Bryanna, for another outstanding recipe!

Oh man, that coleslaw looks amazing. With the high heat we've been experiencing lately, I could definitely be making this very soon!
Looks mighty delicious, as usual!
Some day, when you don't feel like cooking but want to post something new, how 'bout you take a photo of your cupboards with all this awesome serving ware? You seem to have a really great collection of dishes and bowls.

I love broccoli slaw and love the thought of a poppy seed dressing to go along with. Jeff is not a huge fan of cabbage, but I think all broccoli slaw might do the trick! Another great recipe!
I have been desperately wanting to make something like a Waldorf salad recently but haven't been sure of the dressing - this is definately going to be it! Thanks so much to you and Bryanna!!
Now this is something I will have to try! Never liked coleslaw even when I ate a lot of dairy! Blah!
:)
Great pic!
I've never heard of broccoli slaw. What does it contain? (It's hard here to find broccoli that hasn't turned brown all ready.)
This is coming kind of late, but broccoli slaw is a packaged slaw made mostly from shredded broccoli stems with shredded carrot and cabbage added.
I get my broc slaw at TJ's (Trader Joe's) in NYC. I like better than cole slaw but I will try mixing now, thanks.
