Suzi's Vegetable Slaw
There's no mayonnaise in this take on coleslaw, but you won't miss it. Instead, a slimmed-down dressing of coconut milk, olive oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, and spices adorns a mixture of chopped cabbage, carrot, onion, and apple. Serve this healthier coleslaw with lighter fare like grilled fish or shrimp.
