I love coleslaw but I don't love the fat and calories from mayonnaise. This slaw is light, fresh, and the perfect topping for fish or shrimp tacos, or it can hold its own as a side dish. Every time I make it I'm asked for the recipe! The Granny Smith apple is the key ingredient that sets this apart from other slaws of this type.
Ingredients
- 1 lime , cut in wedges
- 1 large Granny Smith apple , coarsely grated
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 0.5 cups finely chopped jicama
- 2 greens onions , diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 0.25 cups shredded carrot
- 0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 freshs jalapeno pepper , seeded and diced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper

Healthier Carrot Oatmeal Cookies
This recipe for healthier carrot oatmeal cookies makes a relatively healthy, cake-like cookie that is a bit like a mix between carrot cake and oatmeal cookies. I adjusted a few recipes to use less sugar and more oats and carrots, so I don't feel too bad eating these for breakfast (which I can't resist)!
