Perhaps one star is too harsh. The slaw itself was lovely but the dressing was tasteless. Too much diary--buttermilk and yogurt? All the lemon juice, salt, and pepper can't transform this bland dressing. Try the classic coleslaw dressing found elsewhere on this site.

I've been making coleslaw for years. I used 2 bags of coleslaw mix instead of the broccoli slaw as that is what I had on hand. It was a tad salty and tangy so I added just a little sugar. I also used some celery seed. My son even at it and he never eats coleslaw. This is now my go-to recipe for a quick and delicious broccoli or coleslaw.

his is a good slaw salad. If you're trying to get someone to eat more broccoli, this is a fantastic way to disguise it. It tastes just like regular coleslaw. I liked the tanginess of the dressing (and it did make quite a lot of dressing, as others have said. The dressing is thick and tastes very good when first made; however, I learned that this is a recipe to make right before serving it. I made it Saturday night for a Sunday afternoon church potluck, and the dressing had gotten very watery and somehow seemed to have lost some of its tangy flavor. Perhaps it was diluted by water released from the veggies overnight. I did cut the amount of lemon juice to just over one tablespoon. There was about one serving left over at the end of the potluck, and I found that it tasted better when I added about half a packet of Splenda to give it a little sweetness (since the tanginess was watered down. Overall, this is a good salad, especially for a nice change while on a low carb diet.

I tried this and loved it. Made it again with store shredded product and it was not. Stay with the recipe.

I made this recipe for a bosses day lunch last year and they loved it. I added raisins and it was excellent. I am making again this year. Go Ellie, Go!!

I also love the 70% cocoa recipes. Excellent.

I love this recipe just as is. I actually PREFER the tartness and tang of the flavors without the sweetness as I am not big on sweet flavors. I've made this several times and I've decided to leave out the buttermilk (only because I have no use for the leftover buttermilk and I barely notice a difference. Sometimes I also add some finely shredded red cabbage.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly but still think I wouldn't have liked it as written. I used only 2 T of skim milk and lemon juice. I did use strained plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. I used 4 medium broccoli stems and a large carrot but still didn't get enough produce to equal the amount of dressing it produces. I had at least 1/2 cup of dressing left over. I also found the slaw got watery pretty fast so I drained it in a paper towel. I agree with other reviewers that it's too tart (& I don't like sweet slaws so I added about 1 T honey. I think the lemon juice is probably not necessary since the yogurt's so tangy alone. For all the revisions, I just can't say I'll be making this again.

After reading the reviews I was a little skeptical about how this was going to come out. It seems like the majority of the people either love it or hate it with little to no middle ground. I decided to make it anyway seeing as I had most of the ingredients and thought it looked really good when Ellie made it. I didn't have nearly enough broccoli stalks that the recipe calls for (only had about 8oz so I cut all of the dressing ingredients in half and used about 1/4 cup of the sunflower seeds. The only changes I made was I used skim milk instead of buttermilk since I had none, used light mayo instead of regular and took the advice of another reviewer and added 1tsp of honey. I also grated the carrots and broccoli stalks by hand. It came out fantastic! It had that very similar sweet flavor you would come to expect of traditional coleslaw thanks to the addition of honey, but still had a nice tang from the bit of lemon juice and yogurt. My dressing came out a little too watery (possibly b/c of the skim milk so next time I'd probably cut back to only 1 tbsp of milk or add a touch more yogurt. The sunflower seeds made such a nice addition and I really think you'd be missing out if you skipped this ingredient! For those that hated the recipe, I would honestly give it another go with the honey because you might change your mind. I really think it makes such a difference in the flavor. This recipe will be a staple in my house from now on!
