Hint ** Ultra light whip works well in this recipe and in others that call for low-fat mayonnaise type dressings. Broccoli slaw mix is made from grated broccoli stems and often includes grated carrots, too. Look for it where you find pre-packaged salads at your local. If you can’t find it, you can always substitute it with regular Cole slaw mix.

I actually bought a broccoli salad from the deli yesterday that I love.  I love the white vinegar that you suggest as I always like a bit of bite.

Can't wait to try this one too!  Thanks for taking the time to share your healthy recipes.
