I do believe between you and Smitten Kitchen, I could find the right recipe for any craving. I made this slaw, more like yours – added the mint, apple – and it’s delish! And this is even before I let it mingle in the fridge. I’m too impatient for that.
Now that summer is finally sort of here in NY, it’s such a yummy addition to the fridge!
The mint was such a smart move. I mixed it up first without mint (thinking it wasn’t really needed) and it was missing “something”. I did 5-6 leaves, but as a chiffonade, and voila, it’s perfect. I definitely think I’ll finely chop them like you recommended… Every once in a while, my bite is extremely minty.

The dressing is absolutely amazing! I’m using it now on a regular cole slaw as well. And I need to work on less shredding next time. I first tried it “Stew Lenards” – have you been there? Anyway, thanks so much – it was a treat!
In case you read in Russian, there are great recipes by Pohlyobkin (His dissertation about Russian cousin (pls note dissertation is not a quote because it looks like he did get a PhD in culinary technology in Soviet times.)) I got his book about Slavic cusine in “St. Petersburgh” and it contained the best techical advice on borscht.

Question: which restaurants would you suggest to visit in NYC? With the restaurant week looming, I’m hoping to take a full advantage of it this time…Thanks!

My danish cousin made this for me in Copenhagen, or a variation and I feel in love with it. Thanks for the recipe. Mine was just a version of what I remember so good!:)

I have always loved (versions of) this salad. I’m happy to be reminded of it. Here in Seattle, we had two very strange 92 degree days in early June, so we are relieved that it’s raining again. You may have heard what weather wimps we are out here.

I feel your pain. No, really, I do feel it. Navicular fracture, also from running (mine’s eventually going to require surgery, but I’m putting that off till winter). And don’t get me started on the weather….
But, the day just got much better, thanks to your broccoli slaw. Just lovely — and at least all that wet weather is good for something, no? I’m on a slaw kick lately (made some with kohlrabi) so I’ll no doubt try this one soon.

It has been raining almost everyday here in Chicago too. Thankfully its warmed up a little from the rainy and 40s that started June.
This looks like good slaw.

I had the biggest craving for hot chocolate a couple nights ago too. It’s crazy!! Right now it’s pouring in Boston and looks like it’s going to keep going at least until Tuesday. :(
I’ve been seeing so many great slaw recipes lately, but I’m loving the way it sounds with broccoli!! Looks so pretty too!

Totally inappropriate weather, not that I really mind, I have a quilt I’ve been working on for way too long and its nice to be able to work on it without dying from the heat.
I need to make this slaw. The addition of apples and mint sounds perfect and cooling and crisp when we finally have a hot summer day. I made something similar, http://madelinesandtea.blogspot.com/2009/06/broccoli-and-apple-salad.html, a while ago, and it is completely addictive.

Get better. And yes, please stop putting your winter clothes away in June, this NYer is stick of it, too. It’s a movie watching kind of day. If I could wear slippers to the office, I would, but the best I can do is just take of my shoes.
Oh yeah, thanks for the slaw post, I love slaw.
