Be careful when handling sharp knives while preparing the broccoli stems. Also, keep in mind that this guide assumes you already have the necessary tools and ingredients.

1

Prepare the broccoli stems

Trim the tough outer layer of the broccoli stems with a sharp knife. Then, use a vegetable peeler to remove the remaining skin. Rinse the stems under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.

Slice the stems into matchsticks

Prepare the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the following ingredients: 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

4

Combine the ingredients

Place the sliced broccoli stems in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup dried cranberries and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts for a burst of sweetness and crunch. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and toss until everything is well coated.

5

Chill and serve

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve your Broccoli Stem Slaw as a refreshing side dish alongside grilled meats or enjoy it on its own. Enjoy the crunchy goodness!
