Basic Coleslaw Recipe

This colorful salad is much lighter that your traditional mayo-filled affair. It is also extremely easy to make!

Ingredients
1 small head of green cabbage
1/2 medium red onion, chopped finely
1 large carrot, grated
1/2 cup of fresh or roasted red pepper, chopped finely
1/2 lemon, juiced
3-4 Tbs balsamic vinaigrette (Any homemade or store bought that you like will do, I like to be lazy and use Newman's Own light balsamic vinaigrette.)

Mix vegetables thoroughly in a medium sized bowl. Add lemon juice and stir so that evenly coated. Add a little vinaigrette at a time, stirring so that salad is fully coated but not soggy. Cover and place in fridge for 30 mins to overnight to allow flavors to absorb and cabbage to wilt.

Serves 6-8 as a side dish.
