2 heads of broccoli
1/2 cup thinly sliced almonds, toasted
1/3 cup dried currants
1/4 cup finely chopped chives or onion (pickled if desired)
Buttermilk dressing:
1/2 cup buttermilk, well-shaken
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
Trim broccoli and cut it into large chunks, then use a food
processor with slicing blade, a mandoline, or a knife to cut it into thin
slices. If using the stems, peel them
before slicing.
Toss the sliced broccoli with the almonds, currants, and chives
or onion in a large bowl. Meanwhile,
whisk the dressing ingredients in a smaller bowl, adding a good pinch of salt
and black pepper. Pour the dressing over
the broccoli and toss it well. Season
well with salt and pepper to taste.
Makes about six cups of slaw.
