Updating this old favorite with some fresh new photography, to show off just how delicious it really is!  This has remained one of our go-to side dishes year round (although it’s extra perfect in the spring & summer!)
 
We love the balance of fresh, crisp fruits and veggies with the creamy, tangy dressing.  Recipe has been updated with the option of sliced almonds OR chopped walnuts as a mix-in:  we love them both!
 

 
I have loved getting creative with my food concoctions lately, and it makes it SO much more fun having an in-home taste tester who also loves & appreciates healthy food.  Dathan is the one who introduced me to Paleo, and is definitely a “good eater”… in both senses of the word: he eats healthy, and he eats a lot!  
 
 
It’s been fun to coming up with new recipes for us that are budget-friendly, tasty, and healthy!  This is one of my recent creations: broccoli apple slaw.  I start off with a simple bag of broccoli slaw mix~ you can find it at Trader Joe’s, or check out the selection at your local grocery store.  I then toss in a few ingredients, whisk up the quickest dressing of life, and the perfect summer side dish is done.
 
 
We love this with grass-fed hot dogs, salmon burgers, and stuffed turkey burgers.  This would also be the perfect light dish to bring to a barbecue or summer gathering… super light & fresh, and a great way to introduce your friends & family to Paleo!  Show them that healthy eating can taste amazing too!
 
 
The recipe below is for those, like me, who prefer a light coating of dressing.  If you like a heavier amount, just double the recipe for the dressing!  You can always save any extra for your salads.
 
Hope you enjoy!
