Summer Slaw with Salmon

by | Updated: December 4th, 2016

This is not your average coleslaw. Unlike classic coleslaw, doused with ingredients we’d rather avoid like mayonnaise and sugar, this light salad is tossed only with olive oil. Freshly shredded cabbage and carrots are given a nutritional boost and extra crunchiness thanks to apple slices and walnuts. A complete, nutritious meal, sashimi grade salmon rounds out this refreshing slaw.
