  2. Now, peel and cut the stems of the broccoli and carrots to pieces that will fit into the food processor. Then switch the blade to the grating blade and feed them through the food processor.
  3. Alternatively, slice the florets thinly using a sharp knife. Then make use of a box grater to grate the peeled broccoli stems and carrots. Place the sliced vegetables into a large bowl and set aside.
  4. Next, prepare the dressing. Simply mix or whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, dill, celery seed, kosher salt, and several grinds fresh ground pepper in a small bowl. Then combine your sliced veggies with the prepared dressing.
  5. To mix, pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir until well coated. For crunchiness, stir in any of the earlier mentioned crunchy elements. Serve and eat immediately. Enjoy!
