This amazing salad showed up at a church dinner.  Everyone at the table where I sat was talking about it and wondering who brought it.  Most guessed that our pastor’s wife was the cook behind this dish.  She’s a fabulous cook.  I haven’t known her for long, but I’ve heard quite a few people mention various recipes that she makes.  (I even hear she has a recipe for coffee punch. Yum!)

Sure enough, Audrey was the one who brought this salad.  I asked her for the recipe and she graciously shared it with me.  Now I’m sharing it with you.  It reminds me a lot of Hawaiian Cole Slaw, another favorite of ours.  The dressing is a little different and of course, this uses broccoli and red pepper instead of slaw mix.

Here’s what you’ll need:
