Summer Squash Cole Slaw

summer squash Cole slaw

During this time of year, most gardens are overflowing with squash and zucchini – I thought it would be fun (and tasty) to put a spin on a traditional cole slaw recipe by adding some of them into it and developing a Summer Squash Coleslaw.

The flavors meld together so well, and the colors that the dish produces are just so beautiful.  Plus, by adding these veggies into the slaw – you get a whole new health element added.
