So I have been trying to eat more meals that are mostly veggies and I found this salad at Kings that I really like. It is mainly broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Then accented with crasins, raisins, sun flower seeds, and onion in a light sweet dressing.
After I got it a few times I tried to figure out if I could make it myself. I did a pretty decent job if I do say so myself...although the dressing still needs a little work.
I found broccoli slaw at the Shoprite and I also added cabbage since rumor has it it is good for you.
Then I mixed in crasins, raisins and some walnuts. I didn't have any sunflower seeds and I left out the onion since I don't really care for onion.
I read the ingredients on the dressing from the Kings container to attempt to recreate. Although mine didn't taste bad, it didn't really taste like the food store one. I whisked together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard power, water, honey and sugar. I had WAY too much vinegar so I added more honey and sugar, but it still wasn't right. So I added a tiny bit of light mayo. That might seem kind of gross, vinegar and mayo, but it seems to do the trick. I didn't list portions of any of these since I kind of just kept adding stuff. If I seem to get it right next time, I'll post the portions. : )

Yum! I'll have to try a version, myself. I'm nuts about cabbage slaw mix right now - especially mixed with something sweet like grapes - or raisins! Maybe plain greek yogurt would be good for the dressing - add some zing?
ReplyDeleteyeah it is good, give it a try! and yes the rasins add a lot of "sweet" the king one had way more rasins than i put in, ill have to add more next time.
ReplyDeletei tried greek yogurt the other day. i didn't like it. haha but props for trying it right?
i don't like greek yogurt on its own, but add some honey and we're in business. it seems like kings used coleslaw dressing, so you were right on track with adding the mayo.
