Healthy Coleslaw with a Kick

Did you know the average medium coleslaw from a fast food joint contains about 350 calories, 15 grams of fat & 16 grams of sugar? Wow... and you thought you were choosing a healthy veggie side dish. Not so much! Coleslaw is packed with mayo & sugar which turns the healthy cabbage base into a high fat, high cal, sugar-packed dish.

If you're a coleslaw lover, I have good news for you! You can get your fill while keeping your diet in check. In fact, the recipe below is packed with nutrients and it's low in fat and sugar.

I usually don't like coleslaw at restaurants, but this recipe is great! We've been topping our sandwiches with it, to add a sweet, creamy crunch.
