California Coleslaw

California Coleslaw

This sweet, summer slaw is filled with crunchy vegetables, mandarin oranges, and is dressed in a light, citrusy vinaigrette, making it much healthier than traditional mayo based slaws. A quick and easy side dish, this California Coleslaw is great for picnics and perfectly complements grilled meats and fish.
