Summer means salads! Summer means Coleslaw!

Salads are the perfect food for picnics and as side dish, but really, they are also a source for water-rich meals when you are looking for staying hydrated during hot summer days. All the reasons to try out this delicious

COLESLAW RECIPE

The base of this salad is made up of colorful cabbage.

Did you know that water makes up more than 90% of the vegetable?

Cabbage is also rich in glucosinolates, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, and broccoli.

Glucosinolates has been linked to supporting heart health and reducing the risk of cancer.

In a large bowl using a whisker whisk together the lime juice, coconut nectar (or honey), oil, and teriyaki sauce
Add the slaw veggie mix (or shredded cabbage), scallions and mint; toss to coat.

I like to use Thai style peanut sauce as a dressing for this salad.
