Have you noticed all of the attention that apple cider vinegar is getting lately?
It's bigger than kale.
Trendier than quinoa.
Hotter than green tea.
Cooler than almond milk.
Hipper than greek yogurt.
"Chic"-er than chia seeds.
Apple cider vinegar seems to be at the top of everyone's current "it" food lists.
It's been called "life changing," and why wouldn't it be,
claiming to be a virtual cure-all:
Aids weight loss
Lowers cholesterol
Soothes sunburn
Prevents indigestion
Whitens teeth
Cures hiccups
Reduces heartburn
And that's just some of it's magical powers.
In order to maximize those benefits,
you pretty much need to drink apple cider vinegar every day -- no joke!
I haven't been able to take that step (gag!),
but I figure that working it into my menu planning even in small ways
has to do us some good.
I was searching for an apple cider vinegar dressing for my broccoli slaw,
when I came across this recipe on allrecipes.com.
The fact that it calls for brown sugar sealed the deal for me.
Granted, the sugar may cancel out the benefits of the vinegar,
but it sure is yummy!
Chopped cabbage would be equally tasty, if you prefer to use it instead of the broccoli.
It took mere minutes to whip up
(well, except for the fact that I had to run out
in the middle of preparing it to get the celery seed,
which I thought I had, but didn't.
Why do I always, ALWAYS forget one ingredient?
This salad definitely tastes better after sitting in the fridge for a couple of hours,
giving the flavors a chance to meld,
so be sure to build that into your prep time.
It's a great accompaniment to burgers and hot dogs,
pulled pork or brisket, grilled steak, barbecued chicken...
you get the idea.
Yumscious!

Broccoli Slaw with Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing
or chopped cabbage
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. celery seed
In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar and celery seed.
Add broccoli slaw and toss to coat.
Let it sit in refrigerator for approximately two hours before serving.
I have to admit that after several helpings, my weight didn't change,
and my teeth weren't any whiter,
but I feel better just knowing that Broccoli Slaw with Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing
is in mymedicine recipe chest.

Sounds great! I love broccoli slaw. I did try adding the high end apple cider vinegar in my drinking water everyday but I couldn't do it...it was nasty!! Forget the health benefits, bring on the brown sugar!
ReplyDeleteI love cole slaw and especially love finding new ways to dress it and enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the broccoli slaw from TJ's too Amy. I love that dressing. Thanks for sharing it! :)
ReplyDeleteI did try drinking it and gag is right!
ReplyDeleteI've been taking a tablespoon of Fire Cider every day for the last few weeks (when we were home). Talk about gagging! It contains some spices such as turmeric which is supposed to be beneficial and give me the body of Halle Berre. Unfortunately it's more like Rosie O'Donnel :/.

Looks great--thanks for sharing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere have I been? I didn't know there was such a thing as broccoli slaw but I'll pick up a bag at TJ's soon. I've jotted down the ingredients and I happen to love apple cider vinegar. this sounds good!
ReplyDeleteWait - is this going to make me younger? I'm in!! Seriously, this looks great - pinning!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't the apple cider vinegar that grabbed my attentiion in your recipe, it's the broccoli! After a very strict diet of six month, I'm reintroducing things one at a time (minus the ones that are forbidden due to allergy) and broccoli is the one I reintroduced this week, with no problem... So I think a salad (sans the mayo) is in order this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI will admit I am completely addicted to apple cider vinegar! I wouldn't know what to do if we were out of it! I have a stockpile of the good stuff! This looks delicious...can't wait to try it! :)
ReplyDelete"Yumscious!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great word!
Looks delicious, thanks for sharing.
All the best Jan
Super easy. I found the broccoli slaw mix at Walmart in the produce section. Very delicious, I absolutely love this. I made this to go along side some cheeseburgers for a simple meal. Not to mention something different than an every day green salad, and I didn't want to serve up fries.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you liked it! Thanks so much for letting me know - it's great to get feedback!
DeleteI think that I'll make this over the weekend! It sounds so good!
