I can't believe it's not cabbage

Actually, you will believe it's not cabbage, but you probably won't believe it's actually broccoli. In fact, it's broccoslaw!

Broccoslaw

1/2 bag of President's Choice Broccoli slaw (or similar product)
1/2 cup raisins or plain "Craisins"
1/2 cup low fat sour cream
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped walnuts

1. To make dressing, combine sour cream, vinegar, and pepper in a large bowl.

2. Add raisins, walnuts, and slaw mix. Toss well to coat evenly with dressing.

Yield: Approximately four 1 cup servings

We had this last night with turkey meatloaf (a recipe for another day?), and couscous. The raisins give a nice hint of sweetness, so you don't have to add sugar to your dressing. The amount of dressing is just enough to coat the slaw without making it soggy or overly creamy, like you might find at your local chicken shack. Any leftover, undressed slaw mix can be used to make more slaw, or can be cooked up in a convenient stirfry. I'm using our leftovers tonight to steam up to accompany some garlicky, broiled salmon.
