Orange Cilantro Vinaigrette Coleslaw

Colorful Coleslaw

Devin picked apart the most incredible coleslaw she'd ever eaten at a friend's Super Bowl party, and within three days had created this version — now her all-time favorite coleslaw recipe. Something about the combo of creamy dressing, fresh herbs, and two varieties of onions makes it addictive. Traditional coleslaw has about 266 calories, 23 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, and 20 milligrams of cholesterol per serving — this one is 100 percent delicious, and guilt free.
