    Broccolini Slaw (Refined Sugar Free)

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This broccolini slaw recipe is sweet, a little spicy, and tangy. This zesty recipe is easy to put together in just a few minutes, without added sugar, and is sure to be a delicious and refreshing bite!

    A naturally gluten free, lower in carbs and sugar version of a broccoli slaw recipe, made with tender, sweet broccolini instead! We use a sugar free sweetener instead of traditional sugar to make the dressing, which is normally loaded with this calorie laden component that seems to be in EVERYTHING.

    This recipe is reminiscent of a broccoli slaw recipe my grandma used to make! We promise, it's just as good (if not a little better, sorry Grandma!) and we added a few more spices to it too! 😉

    Another slight change we made was using tender, sweet broccolini (also known as baby broccoli) instead of regular broccoli. You can't go wrong with this super simple recipe that's ready in under 25 minutes.

    Keep reading for the shopping list. We also include lots of process pictures in the body of the text, as well as ideas for substitutions and more. Feel free to skip to the recipe card if you'd like to get right into it. This recipe is also available as a Google Web Story here!

    Ingredients:​

    • Broccolini - Also known as baby broccoli! This tender, slightly sweet version has long stalks and tender florets. The perfect base for this slaw.
    • Carrots - Finely shredded or matchstick carrots add the perfect crunch and some sweetness!
    • Apple - Use something tart and sweet, we love honey crisp, but use your favorite variety.
    • Dried cherries - Tart and sweet! Use dried cranberries if you prefer, and look for the no sugar added versions.
    • Green onions - Adds a well rounded bite to this otherwise sweet salad. Finely minced red onion could also be a great choice.
    • Almond slices - Or chopped almonds. Walnuts or pecans would be really tasty as well!

    For the dressing:

    • Dijon mustard - Adds that right balance you're looking for in the dressing.
    • Apple cider vinegar - For a bit of tanginess and acidity.
    • Greek yogurt & mayonnaise - We like using a mixture of both to create a balanced dressing that isn't too rich.
    • Lemon juice - Freshly squeezed.
    • Sweetener - Use any sweetener you prefer, but we like powdered erythritol, and it measures like sugar too.
    • Seasonings - Kosher salt, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and some Italian seasoning.
