  • 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small bunch broccoli (about 12 oz.)
  • 1/2 medium Napa cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)

Toss broccoli, cabbage, scallions, sugar snap peas, 2 Tbsp. chives, and reserved buttermilk dressing in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve slaw topped with remaining 2 Tbsp. chives.
