    oh... I LOVE THAT STUFF. My favorite dressing is the kale and spinach yogurt dip from Trader Joes...

    I certainly eat way to much of it :)

    I just make a simple German-style vinaigrette (like goes on cucumber salads). My standard (lower fat and sugar than the original) recipe is:

    1 Tbsp. oil
    2 Tbsp. sugar
    3 Tbsp. vinegar

    To vary the flavor I sometimes change what oil or vinegar I'm using. I once did an Asian variation with rice vinegar, peanut oil, brown sugar, and added some soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

    Help. I have a bag sitting around in my fridge!

    I love this stuff! Bought it for the first time last week. I cooked some boneless chicken in a little olive oil & cilantro then added the broccoli slaw & sauteed. It was very good!

    I too LOVE this stuff. I've eaten several different ways. I've used it in stir fry, I've put it in my lettuce salads for a little more of a filler.
    I've eaten it just as a salad with some grilled chicken tenders.

    Marinade some chicken tenders..I've used garlic and herb and also teriyaki marinade. Grill add to salad and add a vinaigrette.
    I've also put in rotisserie chicken and chopped up half or 1/4 granny smith apple..also added silvered almonds and dried cranberries.

    Basic vinaigrette dressing
    1 tbsp vinegar of choice( I've used....red wine, apple cider, white wine)
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1tsp dijon mustard
    splenda to taste

    I don't like mine with a strong vinegar taste so adjust amounts as needed.. a little of the vinaigrette goes a long way..
    I usually put 1 cup or more depending on calories..into bowls in fridge.. I then make up my dressing and add 2 tbsp a few hours before I'm going to eat it.. so it doesn't get soggy

    I've seen the hungry girl one but never tried it..going to this next week

    Here's my recipe that I came up with when I had a bag hanging around this makes 1 serving:
    Meat - Chicken Breast , 4 ounces
    Thai Kitchen - Thin Rice Noodles, 2 oz (56g)
    Thai Kitchen - Red Curry 10 Minute Simmer Sauce, 1/2 cup
    Eat Smart - Broccoli Slaw 12 oz Bag, 3 oz (85g)

    Heat water to boil noodles according to directions on box. Spray frying pan with olive oil and slice chicken into thin strips and cook with some chopped garlic (I get the prechopped and add to taste) add broccoli slaw and cook to chosen doneness (I like it still crisp so I don't remove the chicken from the pan, I just add the slaw when the meat is almost done.) Add curry sauce and rice noodles and cook til heated through then enjoy! 465 calories per serving

    It takes amazing - like a good pasta. I used extra grated cheese. With the leftovers, I reheated in the skillet and added mushrooms.. OMG.. so good!

    Wow! I will be trying this!!!

    I mix up equal part soy sauce and seasoned rice vinegar, a tiny bit of sesame oil and a bit of lemon juice, coat the slaw in it and let it sit for an hour or so in the fridge, then throw some sliced almonds in just before serving.
    Doesn't take much dressing at all, a couple tablespoons does a whole bag for me, makes a yummy Asian flavoured salad.

    I actually had some of that in my scrambled eggs the other day.
    I've also added it to my cheeseburgers...it's a nice crunch, and I found that I have to eat slower because it IS so crunchy..lol
    In the winter, I make cabbage soup..and I use a whole bag.

    Mmmm! I'll have to try adding chicken like you recommended.

    I make something similar with cranberries & chopped or slivered almonds (depending on what I have on hand at the time). I also add a chopped apple and then I just use the Poppyseed Fit & Active dressing from Aldi's on it. It's DELICIOUS!

    When I made my roast turkey earlier this year I wanted to make stuffing but had no celery, so I used day old stale 35 calorie whole grain bread cut into cubes with ff low sodium chicken broth, added the sauteed onions and added broccoli slaw to the mix with my poultry seasoning an baked it in the oven for 20 min on 350 and it was awesome!! will never make stuffing without it again :)

    I make an apple slaw with it. Grate 2 apples (skin and all) and add to the package of broccoli slaw. Add some dried cranberries, and whisk together 1/4 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup olive oil, and some splenda to taste. Or you can use some honey instead of the splenda. Mix it all up and if you have the time, let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so for the flavors to mix. Yummy!
