Sweet Broccoli Slaw

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup raisins
• 2 large head of broccoli with a good stalk
• 1/2 red onion (small to medium in size, depending on your love of onions), quartered and finely slliced
• 3/4 cup almonds, slivered or roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup vegan mayo
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar or other sweetener
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

1. Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour hot water over them. Let set for a few minutes and then drain well.
2. Remove the florets from the stalk. Wash the broccoli and stalk well. Using a food processor with a grater disk in place, shred the broccoli. For the stalks you can either shred them using a box grater to get long strips or you can finely slice into match sticks with a good sharp knife.
3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded florets and stalk, raisins, finely sliced red onion, and almonds.
4. In a separate bowl whisk the vegan mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper together until smooth and creamy. Pour over the shredded broccoli ingredients and toss to make a lovely slaw. You may serve it right away or, better yet, allow it to chill for an hour or so in the refrigerator so the flavors can wed. Yumm!
