Notes

21 Day Fix: 1 GREEN, 1/4 TSP, 1 sweetener TSP (per serving)
WW: 2 points (per serving) [Calculated using maple syrup]
Tips & Info:
    • Soak your red onion in water for 20 minutes to reduce the bite if you are onion sensitive.
    • You can also use a broccoli slaw instead of cabbage. This tends to hold up a little longer if you want to make it ahead of time, for longer periods of time, or if you want to use leftovers longer.
    • If you're looking to include an orange container (21 day FIXers) in this recipe or want to add some additional crunch, you can add some pepita seeds, chia seeds, or sunflower seeds.
    • This slaw uses a mixture of the oil, lime juice and maple syrup in place of the mayo in traditional coleslaw, but feel free to add a few tablespoons of mayo into this for a creamier salad.
