Crunchy Rainbow Slaw

September 28, 2011 by Noelle 7 Comments

My sister arrives today from Houston. I am so excited to have her for a whole week! Can you tell???? I have shared with friends that we will be having visitors over the next few weeks before the baby arrives and people are just surprised, but I think it is a perfect time. You know why? It will keep me less occupied and thinking of the baby’s arrival. I am looking forward to entertaining, sitting and laughing with my younger sister. Her husband then arrives a few days later.


Yesterday i took advantage of getting a hair trim. My hair has been getting tangled and Ryan has even noticed knots in my hair. Well, that is what happens when it is time for a haircut! I am looking forward to a different style, perhaps some highlights after the baby is born though.


I was home alone yesterday and usually I do not feel like cooking for myself, sometimes, but last night I knew I had to follow through with a quick recipe I have been wanting to make. It was a combination of Angela’s Detox Salad:

Detox Salad by Oh She Glows

or Vanilla Sugar’s salad:

Extra Crunchy Broccoli Salad by Vanilla Sugar

I had a 12-ounce bag of Rainbow Slaw that I had picked and wanted to use, which consisted of shredded broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and red cabbage. I made it my dinner folks. It was SO filling and delicious. I added ginger-agave cashews, garlic sesame sticks, raisins, and the dressing and BOOM! An explosion of flavors.


I hope you get to try this as a lunch or dinner salad. I believe your whole family will love it and it will be ready in minutes!
