Ingredients

12 oz Taylor Farms Broccoli Slaw
1 cup sliced strawberries
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Directions

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Assemble the Salad: On a large platter or in a mixing bowl, add broccoli slaw, sliced strawberries, dried cranberries, diced red onion, and slivered almonds.
Combine and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Using salad tongs or a large spoon, toss the salad until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately as a refreshing summer side dish or light meal.

For extra crunch, you can toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until lightly golden before adding them to the salad.
