Creamy Coleslaw

From EatingWell: May/June 1993, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006), The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

Red and green cabbage and bright orange carrots make a colorful, healthful combination. For an especially nutty flavor, use Savoy instead of regular green cabbage.

READER'S COMMENT:

"We added 1/3 cup of bleu cheese and really stepped up the flavor - with the cheese it's 4 star. "
