Recipe Summary Trees, Seeds, And Beans (Broccoli Slaw)

I came up with this broccoli slaw side dish when I was trying to clear the fridge out prior to leaving for a vacation. Grabbed what I saw, stirred up a bowl, and gave it a cheeky title based on some of the cute terms my daughter uses for food. I used lite mayo and Splenda, and I'm sure it would be great with full-fat mayo and sugar. Saved the other half-can of garbanzos for tossing with a salad. I also used half fresh, half frozen broccoli (as that's what I had on hand), and it was all tasty.

⅓ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 tablespoon white vinegar

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, or to taste
