This creative slaw offers up a super-duper, tasty and surprisingly wonderful combination of seasonal ingredients that will make you love winter — or at least resent it less!
We challenge you to name a nutrient that’s not packed into this delicious side dish. Count vitamin K (great for bone and blood health), vitamin C (hello, antioxidant benefits!), complex B vitamins (critically important for every cell in your body), manganese (key for blood sugar regulation), dietary fiber (helps maintain a healthy weight and lowers risk of diabetes and heart disease), calcium (bone and nerve health) and a bunch more. All that in a simple slaw!

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
