CRANBERRY WALNUT SLAW

Cranberry Walnut Slaw image

I make this every year for the holidays. It's a healthy alternative to traditional coleslaw made with mayo. For a alternate flavor combination, substitute toasted sesame seeds and sesame seed oil for the walnuts and walnut oil, and rice wine vinegar for the white wine vinegar. -Bob Nopper, Salem, New York
