Thursday’s Side Dish: Cool Coleslaw

Try to lighten up and hold the mayo

Coleslaw runs the risk of soaking in too much mayonnaise-based liquid. We suggest using a light salad dressing (instead of high-fat mayo) to lighten things up. Throw in cilantro to give it an original taste. Feeling frisky? Top it off with sunflower seeds or flax seeds. Another healthy and very simple coleslaw dressing can be made using black pepper, a pinch of celery seed, sugar or Splenda, and apple cider vinegar. Cut the calories with alternatives to mayo-based sauces. This is a recipe for another atypical coleslaw.
