Mound of vegetable slaw on white surface

Salads Tangy, Healthy, and Crisp

The surprising addition of fresh pear lifts the flavor profile of this salad from coleslaw into a special dish. With more research pointing towards the benefits of cruciferous vegetables, a serving of this cabbage-rich salad will help your heart, cholesterol and overall health – and it is a tasty way to deliver good nutrition. The dressing is a uniquely Asian combination of sweet, hot, salty and sour that can be used at many other meals. Bright green soybean edamame can be found precooked in your grocer’s freezer section.
