Coleslaw.  Normally, when we think of coleslaw, images of creamy, gooey mixture that goes STRAIGHT to the hips comes to mind.  Honestly, while it may TASTE good…we avoid it like the plague!  So, often times, that little bag of shredded cabbage and carrots gets past over for lettuce.  I did that for a very LONG time.  Then, all of a sudden, I started seeing that rich bag of nutrients in a different light.
