This sesame ginger broccoli slaw has been one of my go-to lunch options, since it doesn’t wilt and I can make a huge batch of it for the entire week and not worry about it getting soggy or gross like salad sometimes can. Because it’s so quick to throw together, this sesame ginger broccoli slaw it’s also a great dinner option for the days I get home late from training and I don’t want to spend a ton of time making dinner. I have made this with added quinoa, added hemp hearts, canned salmon, canned tuna, and smoked sardines. I’m not lying when I say this is one of my go-to meals recently!

Part of what keeps me healthy and full of energy is eating a diet of whole foods. Organic veggies, omega-3 filled foods like sardines and salmon, and making most of my food from scratch, including sauces at home. It takes just an extra second, but for me that energy and time is well worth the effort since I get to decide the ingredients and how I am going to fuel my body. I make these choices even when I’m tired because I know what it is doing for my body long term. This is what I urge my clients to do as well.

I took the shortcut and use the organic broccoli slaw from Trader Joe’s in this recipe. I really love how convenient this is and have found myself eating more and more broccoli lately because of it. Bagged broccoli slaw is also great used as pasta with some marinara as well! Super versitile, I always pick up at least 2-3 bags when I go shopping!

Sesame Ginger Broccoli Slaw Recipe Tips

The coconut aminos in this reipe are a paleo substitue for soy sauce. You could easily use soy sauce, gluten free tamari or Bragg’s liquid aminos in this recipe instead. I would urge you to make sure that the soy sauce you are using is from organic soybeans though! Because soy sauce is not gluten free, I don’t keep it in our house. The coconut aminos are a great substitue.

This sesame ginger broccoli slaw has a great punch of sesame flavor from the toasted sesame seed oil. This oil has a strong flavor, so be sure to use it sparingly! This recipe is great without the sesame oil as well! I buy a jar of minced ginger from the grocery store. It’s available in most healthy grocery stores or online! It saves a ton of time, since fresh ginger can be kind of tedious grate everytime I need it. Just be sure to keep it in the refrigerator once you open the jar!
