A NEW TWIST ON SLAW (ASIAN SLAW)
Asian Coleslaw
I LOOOOOVE coleslaw, but it most recipes leave a LOT to be desired in the health department. I set out to make a healthier version, and well, this has become a new favorite. The only problem now is that it's hard not to eat the whole batch in one sitting.
I know most of you will probably prefer peanut butter, but I use almond butter for an ever bigger health boost.
This salad won't disappoint at your next potluck or family meal. And YOU can feel good about all the micronutrients you are packing into them with this colorful bowl full of goodness, including a nice dose of healthy fats. Top with some chicken breast, shrimp or lean beef and it's a complete meal!
ENJOY!
