THis is such a nice and healthy salad!
Thanks Ellen, it is a great salad to get a full gamut of super foods in one dish.
I just bought a bag of hemp seeds for smoothies. I love the idea of adding them to this broccoli slaw.
Chia seeds are great on all kinds of salad, I sprinkle them on my cereal, on peanut butter toast. Such an easy way to get extra nutrients.
Where do you buy Chia seeds? I have never heard of them.
Diana I get mine at Costco, but any health food market should carry them.
