Mayo-Free Summer Slaw

Win the picnic by bringing this mayo-free cole slaw. We added protein (chickpeas) to make it a meal, but leave it out and it’s a terrific veggie side dish. Another bonus: This recipe makes a lot of salad for a little money, about $1 per serving! Experiment with veggies; we used red pepper in addition to the cabbage and carrot, but you could also try adding chopped kale, jicama, or green apple.
