How to Make Apple, Beet, and Carrot Slaw with blood Orange Vinaigrette
I “discovered” this delicious slaw while volunteering at a Washington, D.C., elementary school where the children stated that their favorite food was the “ABC salad,” which they made from ingredients in the school garden! It was so inspiring to see the children devour the vegetables with such pleasure that I became a fan, too! I even began including it in my “Culinary Medicine Made Easy” cooking classes and on as many menus as possible.
