Tastier, Healthier, Lighter Coleslaw

Coleslaw is the classic side to burgers and can be really healthy! This coleslaw is made lighter and tastier with canola mayo and yogurt in the dressing.

Choose non-GMO canola mayo rather than traditional mayo that is made with soybean oil.  Soybean oil is high in inflammatory omega 6 fats, whereas canola oil is high in anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats.

Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, which is a family of vegetables that have the strongest ability to reduce the risk of cancer.  My old boss, a breast cancer survivor, once said, “never pass up the chance to eat a cruciferous vegetable.”  That is excellent advice!
