Healthy Coleslaw

I like to add healthy coleslaw to (lettuce wrap) sandwiches for added bulk (ex: turkey or roast beef + coleslaw rolled in a romaine lettuce leaf), but it can also be eaten as a stand alone side dish.

This easy coleslaw recipe will help you add veggies and fruit to your diet in a colorful, creative way!

Ingredients

• 1 Granny Smith apple, shredded (1 cup)
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)

• 1 tsp. minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

1. Toss together beets, apple, and green onions in bowl.
