This Crunchy Sesame Broccoli Slaw is a delightful and easy-to-make salad that combines fresh vegetables with a tangy sesame dressing and a satisfying crunch.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even toasting of the almonds and sesame seeds.
Spread the sliced almonds and sesame seeds on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Toast the almonds and sesame seeds in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Let them cool.
Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, as they can toast quickly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli slaw mix and sliced green onions.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mix and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all the slaw is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Add the toasted almonds and sesame seeds to the slaw and toss gently.
Reserve a few almonds and sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
Transfer the slaw to a serving bowl and garnish with reserved almonds and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
This slaw is best enjoyed fresh for optimal crunch and flavor.
