Broccoli slaw and ham
I am a huge fan of broccoli slaw. If you've never used it, it's a combination of shredded broccoli stalks, shredded carrots and red cabbage. I can usually locate it in Kroger next to bagged salads or containers of snap peas. I love the convenience, fresh taste and versatility of the stuff, not to mention it being a nutritional powerhouse. Broccoli slaw is high in vitamin C, beta-carotene and potassium and can be used in in stir fries, fish tacos or cold salads.Recently, I had some broccoli slaw in my fridge, but not enough to make anything significant for my family. So I searched my fridge for what I could add in and came up with this simple salad. If you're out of ham, turkey breast would work as well.Ingredients:1 cup broccoli slaw1 slice lean ham1 tsp. light ranch dressingDirections:Place broccoli slaw in a small bowl.
