Even as school starts back up and we transition into a new routine, we’re still savoring the flavors of summer. And, few things say summer like a fresh, flavorful salad (or slaw, this case). This Thai Pomegranate Broccoli Slaw is an all around winner. It’s great for on-the-go and just as wonderful as a side dish at your next backyard BBQ. Cheers!
