How to Make Tangy Broccoli Cabbage Slaw

This recipe uses up broccoli stocks, which you may not have other uses for. If you save the stalks from about two bunches of broccoli, peel them, and grate them you will have enough. This recipe uses half grated broccoli and half grated cabbage, so it is an easy way to get your children accustomed to the taste of broccoli slaw. Broccoli and green cabbage are related vegetables, so they blend very well together.
