This isn’t your typical coleslaw. Think: Herby green dressing, nutty almonds, and bursts of sweet cherry tomatoes. This coleslaw is the perfect addition to burgers, baked potatoes and summer spreads. Take her to picnics and Christmas day. She’s bright, she’s refreshing, and she’s packed with nourishing ingredients. Did I mention this creamy green coleslaw comes together in only 10 minutes?
