Citrus Slaw Recipe

I have been all about some slaw lately. I live in NC and with the humidity and heat is peaking right now, nothing sounds better for a healthy side then a cool citrus slaw. When most people think of slaw, they think of a mayonnaise base but I wanted to elevate it and lighten up the recipe. Who wants a stomach full of mayonnaise in the summer heat? I sure don’t.

Did I mention this is about the easiest side dish you can make? I’m all about an easy side with all the cooking I’ve been doing during quarantine. I love to cook but sometime I just need an easy mindless recipe like this one. All you have to do is get a pre-packaged bag a slaw mix, whatever you prefer, add whisk the dressing together, and pour it over the mix. Easy peasy!

Let not forget this is also a healthy slaw because around here, I’m all about a healthy lifestyle. It’s soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. When I was testing this Citrus Slaw recipe for the first time, I paired it with a blacked mahi and a peach salsa for the best-blacked fish tacos I have ever tasted! FYI the peach salsa and blackened mahi recipes will be available soon as well so you can experience the amazing tacos too!
