Summer Salads: Broccoli Slaw

I can't stand coleslaw. Or potato salad, for that matter. I know, I know - they're an absolute staple when it comes to summertime cookouts. They're just always swamped with mayonaise! I was psyched when I came across this sweet, smokey, very green side dish. Best of all, this broccoli slaw has very little mayo.
