Ingredient notes
You only need a handful of ingredients to make this crunchy blueberry coleslaw!
- Almonds : we roast the almonds to bring out their nutty flavor and make them extra crunchy. We prefer to roast them ourselves but you can also buy them roasted.
- Blueberries : fresh blueberries are definitely best but frozen work great too. Just toss them into the salad straight from the freezer!
- You’ll also need fresh broccoli, cauliflower, and purple cabbage.
What goes into the dressing?
The easy homemade coleslaw dressing we use is creamy and much better than anything store-bought. All you need to make it is mayonnaise, lemon juice, maple syrup (or honey), garlic, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
What to serve with blueberry coleslaw
Serve this quick side salad with crockpot roast chicken or sheet pan salmon and a few crispy roast potatoes for an easy, complete meal!
