I love this salad. All that broccoli is so good for you & is really refreshing this time of year. The recipe calls for using packaged broccoli slaw, which is just slivers of peeled broccoli stems. The picture with this recipe shows broccoli flowerettes on top. Maybe they are there just for garnish? They look nice & let you know there is broccoli in the salad! lol
From the reviews:
“1- There’s no need to put 1/4 cup of butter. Just steam your broccoli. 2- You can crush the ramen and use it as a crunchy garnish instead of making it mushy by cooking it. . . . Or use those chow mein noodles that come in a can. 3- You can use red wine vinegar for better taste. 4- Yes, you are supposed to put in the seasoning packet, or if you use chow mein noodles you can use a little soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper… since that’s basically all that’s in oriental flavored ramen seasoning packets. 5- You can add a little seasame oil. 6- You can add toasted slivered almonds. 7- If you want to bring this to a pot luck or something, make it with grilled chicken breast and a head of cabbage instead of broccoli. The cabbage and chicken really absorb the flavor of the dressing, and it’s DOUBLE fantastic.”
You can use other things for crunch: any kind of nuts, seeds, or croutons.
