Happy Memorial Day everyone! This weekend just screams salads and BBQ’s doesn’t it? I am heading over to my parents house later and I am taking this along. By request from Mary @ For The Health Of It, I came up with a kicked up, spicy Chipotle Cole Slaw with Siracha broccoli. Oh yeah I said Siracha broccoli! It is great on it’s own or topped with your favorite protein. It’s definitely spicy just the way I like it! You can tone it down by reducing the the amount of Chipotle slightly.
Please join Tina Muir and I for this week’s Meatless Monday. Looking forward to seeing all of the yummy eats this week.
I used a combo on traditional cole slaw (cabbage), broccoli slaw and shredded brussels sprouts which are all available ready to use at most grocery stores. That makes this slaw super easy to throw together. The Siracha broccoli really bumps it up a notch and the jicama gives it a nice little crunch too. Topped off with a sunflower & pumpkin seed sprinkle it’s full of flavor and texture. Hope you enjoy!

What are you doing for Memorial Day? Favorite BBQ side?
I think even my broccoli hating husband would love this. It sounds so good. My holiday will be pretty quiet but I might throw together a few fun foods to celebrate.

Thanks! You can leave out the broccoli and it would still be good. Sorry for your loss of your friend. It’s never easy to deal with such an unexpected loss. I hope writing about her and honoring her gives you some peace. I am thinking of you.
Deborah this sounds delicious, exactly the kind of slaw I would eat a bowl of as a meal. YUM! Love the idea, pinning for later! Happy Memorial Meatless Monday 😉

Thanks glad you like it! I love spicy foods. If you eat only veggies you have to kick them up a bit right?
YES PLEASE. My favorite side is all the sides, haha. Have a great holiday!

You said Siracha so I’m in! I love heat and you even have Baby Cabbages in it.

I love spicy food too the more the better. The siracha broccoli is amazing.
Oh yummy!! I want to try making this! We don’t have a Chipotle here 🙁 But I did find one when I was in Seattle a few weeks ago and oh my goodness, so yummy!

ha I cook with chipotle peppers all the time. You can find them canned in the mexican food section. They are a great addition to everything!
Thank you so much for whipping this up! Coleslaw and broccoli salad are my husband’s two favorite sides. Plus adding the siracha? He’s going to love this!
Mary Long recently posted…The voices in my head are at it again
It was my pleasure! I run out of ideas sometimes and coming up with new recipes each week is challenging at times. This one is spicy! Enjoy
You had me at siracha! I love using it in dishes and the extra kick that it provides.

Our Memorial Day will be pretty quiet, but hopefully we will grill up some burgers tonight. Your salad looks great! Love the addition of the shredded brussel sprouts.

We ran a 5K for Memorial Day and then grilled out with my mom. I love pretty much everything to do with BBQ, so it’s hard to name a favorite side.
Jenn recently posted…weekly report: 5.17 – 5.23
I love all of the sides too! Sounds like you had a fun day
This looks so delicious and crunchy with a kick! I love slaw because it’s so fresh and and if I can ovoid the oven in the summer months that’s a bonus!

Nicole @ Fitful Focus recently posted…The Running Injury That Wasn’t
I’ve learned to love me some raw broccoli – esp. if it’s in a slaw! The addition of sriracha sounds AMAZING.
Jess @hellotofit recently posted…Link Love #19 and bye-bye, burnout
I am not a big fan of siracha.. I know, I know — crazy! But that slaw looks SO amazing. Even I am going to pin it and make it later! Thanks for sharing #WHActionHero
Thanks and you could always leave the siracha off and it would still be super yummy!
Oh! Good to know… I thought maybe it was dependent on the siracha flavor. Thanks for the suggestion!
fyi I tried to comment back on your site and it wouldn’t let me. Will try again
You had me at chipotle! This looks delicious 🙂
