CUMIN LIME COLESLAW
Coleslaw is great any time of year. This recipe twist provides a whole new flavor profile of coleslaw that can accompany a wide range of meal options. It goes great with chicken, sloppy joes, fish or chili. If using the bagged coleslaw, you will have a small amount of shredded carrot in the mix. It won’t have much impact at all on weight loss per serving with this recipe. One serving (by itself) is 2 cups (or you can eat 1 cup and add 1 cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked of another vegetable). It also covers your fat for one meal.
