Sesame Broccoli Slaw with Almonds

Sesame Broccoli Slaw with Almonds is a light, healthy, and refreshing side dish that's perfect for summer. It's made with a simple dressing of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (substitute with maple syrup for strict paleo), coconut aminos, salt, and pepper. The slaw is crunchy and flavorful, and the almonds add a nutty crunch.

I first came up with this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish to serve with grilled chicken or fish. I had some broccoli in the fridge, and I thought it would be a good base for a slaw. I added some almonds and sesame seeds for crunch, and I tossed it with a simple dressing made with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper. The slaw was a hit with my family and friends, and I've been making it ever since.
