Seriously, I was never a fan of cole slaw. If we were ever at picnics, I just passed it by on the way to the baked beans and brownies. But last week, I made veggie burgers and sweet potato french fries, and I felt compelled to do the traditional thing and round out the meal with a side of cole slaw. So, I found a recipe on the back of the Dole cole slaw bag (the shredded cabbage and carrots in the produce section) and adapted it to suit my taste.

It turned out fabulous!

Here's the recipe I made up if you want to try it (and, mama, you should try it):

1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp minced cilantro
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (I added some pulp, too)
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Whisk together all ingredients until well blended. Toss on colorful coleslaw mix.

Of course, I don't even have to tell you that I tripled the recipe for my family. And the whole thing was GONE at the end of dinner. That's how good it was!
