Christmas Coleslaw

We were having company and I had way too much to do so that's how it ended up being served.  Either way it taste good chunky or finely chopped! I love that this coleslaw recipe has some healthy ingredients in it!  The apples, nuts and cranberries make it perfect to take to your holiday ... continue reading...
