Sweet and Sour Coleslaw
Crunchy cabbage and carrots tossed in a sweet and sour dressing with a hint of ginger. This tangy side dish comes together quickly and makes it easy to enjoy plenty of veggies! I like to use combination of green and purple cabbage, but use whatever type of cabbage you prefer. To make this recipe even quicker and easier, use a 14 -16 oz. bag of fresh coleslaw from the produce department.
Sweet and sour dressings often use white sugar, but our recipe uses apple juice concentrate which does more than add sweetness–it adds flavor and vitamins too! But, the sweet and tangy dressing does more than make this salad taste great–the ginger makes it easier to digest the cabbage! What a delicious way to help your body.
