Honey Mustard Broccoli Slaw Salad
What a treat this Honey Mustard Broccoli Slaw Salad was. I threw this baby together this past Sunday night for a healthy meal to get back into the week. I knew it would be good, but I really didn’t know how good it would be. I am in love with this salad and the ease of making it was fabulous. While the time on the directions may seem a bit long it’s due to the larger cooking time of the corn, quinoa and chicken, so don’t let this deter you from making it.
I found this salad to be quite the detox and rid my body of all it’s bloating, which was unexpected but amazing. It’s a healthy combination of numerous vegetables, fat and protein sources that keep your stomach full and satisfied for a length of time.
