The Best Broccoli and Cabbage Slaw

Photo and Recipe from Inspired Taste

1 pound broccoli with stems, 2 to 3 small heads
1/2 lb cabbage chopped
1/2 bunch basil or green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves from last week, coarsely chopped
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1 cup mayonnaise, try homemade mayo or veganaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 to 3 dashes toasted sesame oil, optional

Instructions

Prep the broccoli: Remove the florets from the larger stems and cut them into small, bite-sized pieces. Trim away the woodiest part of the stem (about ½ inch from the bottom) and discard. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the thick outer layer of the stems, then grate or slice the peeled stems into thin matchsticks. Place all the broccoli in a very large bowl (you should have about 6 to 8 cups total).
Make the coleslaw mix: Add the sliced basil or green onions, parsley, raisins, and sunflower seeds to the bowl with the broccoli. Toss to combine.
Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning or acidity as needed. For extra flavor, add two or three small dashes of toasted sesame oil (see tips).
To finish: Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss well to coat. If the slaw looks a bit dry, add more dressing to taste. Serve right away or refrigerate for about an hour to let the flavors meld.

ABOUT PICKING UP YOUR CSA

Bring your own bag. Pick up at your pick up location and day (Wednesday or Friday) from 12-6pm. If you ordered an add-on, it will be packed in a separate labeled tote.

HOW TO PICK UP YOUR CSA

#1: Sign-in! the golden rule

Find & Sign-off your name on the sign-in sheet each week and please ONLY take the items listed next to your name.

This vital step helps ensure everyone goes home happy, including our site hosts and farmers, week after week.

#2: Locate your shares

Boxes are labeled as Small or Full. Summer Salad Lover Add-on shares are in a large tote labeled "Salad Add-ons"

#3: Unpack your tote & stack the empties

Please bring your own reusable shopping bag to transport your items - we’ll pick the totes up next week for reuse! We can use them for multiple seasons, reducing waste one box at a time.

USING THE WEEKLY SWAP BOX?

Swap boxes are green with flowers painted on them. Swap boxes are labeled and will stand out! If your pick up site has a swap box, please feel free to swap an item you may not want in your box with an item in the provided and specifically-labeled SWAP BOX. Please limit the swaps to one item for one item per week.

UNABLE TO FIND AN ITEM?

(Please do not supplement it with something else!) Contact the farm directly before taking something else. The sooner you reach out the sooner your item may be located.

SOMEONE ELSE PICKING UP FOR YOU?

(Please share all the details of how to pick up with them BEFORE they attempt to pick up -- BYO bag, take from the right size box, check off the right name). Friends and family picking up for others is the number one cause of pickup mistakes, and we thank you in advance for your consideration.

CSA FAQS PAGE

Since our hands are often tied up with roots, soil or kids we keep this information on our CSA FAQS web page.

VACATIONS

Every CSA member can put their share on hold in trade for a $20 credit per week, up to two. Login to your account and select your vacation dates or email us. Please request your vacation at least three days in advance to receive the credit.

REDEEMING YOUR VACATION CREDIT

Go to our Online Store to see availability for add-ons this week and to double check the value of your credit. You'll need to login to see your credit amount.
