I made this salad one day using a little shortcut of bagged shredded Broccoli Slaw that you can find in your grocery store produce section. To it I added, some grape tomatoes, chickpeas, crumbled blue cheese and balsamic vinegar. It doesn’t take long and it will definitely satisfy your taste buds. And bonus… its good for you, like a good salad should be.
Note: If you aren’t a fan of blue cheese, try it with gorgonzola, it’ a little milder and equally delicious. I used Ile de France’s St. Agur blue cheese recently for this salad and wow, my taste buds were singing! Good stuff!

I've never seen broccoli slaw, but I'm intrigued. Looks great, I also enjoy a salad for lunch.

This is a very nice salad. We often have salad with homemade bread and soup for dinner. Your salad would pair well with almost any soup. Nice idea for busy days.

I buy this all the time. It's a great switch between my usual spinach salad.
I like your additions.
