Why This Dish Is Amazing
This slaw is fresh, crunchy, and packed with bold garlic flavor. It’s a healthy side that adds a vibrant touch to any meal. The combination of crisp vegetables and zesty dressing makes it both satisfying and light.
Directions
Mash the eggs, avocado, olive oil, garlic, and lemon-pepper seasoning together in a bowl until you get a smooth, creamy sauce. Then, add the cabbage and Greek yogurt to the bowl and give everything a good toss so the cabbage is well coated with the sauce. Next, stir in the onion, sunflower seeds, and broccoli, making sure these get evenly mixed throughout. Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let all the flavors come together and the slaw chill.
