Backyard Coleslaw

From EatingWell: EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008) — Subscribe to EatingWell Magazine Today!

Instead of a heavy creamy dressing, this refreshing coleslaw is dressed with a light caraway-flavored vinaigrette. The pretty crinkled leaves of Savoy cabbage have a nutty flavor, making this slaw especially flavorful.
