Tangy Broccoli Slaw Salad
I love recipes with healthy substitutions. Broccoli Slaw Salad is a family tradition, but I started using kefir as a healthier substitute with a tangy kick. It's now a kid-friendly favorite that has probiotic power as well!

I'm always looking for ways to sneak more veggies into my family's diet, and this tangy broccoli slaw salad is the perfect way to do it! It's packed with broccoli slaw, which is a cruciferous vegetable that's loaded with vitamins and minerals. I also added some kefir, which is a fermented dairy product that's a great source of probiotics. Probiotics are live bacteria that are beneficial for gut health, and they can help to improve digestion, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation.
This salad is really easy to make. I simply combined all of the ingredients in a large bowl and tossed them to coat. Then, I let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the broccoli slaw to soften slightly. The salad is delicious served on its own, or it can be paired with grilled chicken or fish.
