Ingredients
  • Slaw
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cauliflorets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh flat chopped parsley

  • Zesty Ranch Dressing
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 2 tablespoons wine or rice vinegar

  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Heat a large sauce pan filled with about 1 inch of water until boiling. Place broccoli florets in a steamer tray and place in saucepan. Cover and steam for 2 minutes, then immediately remove broccoli and pour into a colander to drain. Quickly run cold tap water over broccoli to cool and stop cooking process (alternatively, you can put broccoli in a bowl of ice water). Thoroughly drain broccoli, then pat dry with paper towels.

Cut broccoli and cauliflower florets as necessary to ensure they are small, bite-sized pieces. Combine steamed broccoli and all other Slaw ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all Zesty Ranch Dressing ingredients. Pour over mixed vegetables and toss gently to thoroughly coat. Cover and store in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more and serve.
