Coleslaw uses shredded cabbage while the new broccoli slaw uses shreds of those often under appreciated stems of broccoli. Look for it next to the bags of shredded cabbage in the produce department, and you can use the cabbage instead if preferred. When time is short just throw together a 3 minute salad by stopping after step #2 and leaving off the optional toppings.
