Crunchy Colorful Coleslaw

This recipe isn’t just delicious, it’s healthy, kid friendly, and fun to make on your own, with your class, or children at home!

The crunchy bits of coleslaw, combined with the sweet and tart raisins and apples make this dish a crowd pleaser. Not to mention, the bright colors of the purple and green cabbage are visually appealing for even your pickiest eaters! It’s also mayo free - making it a wonderful alternative for those with allergies or specific diets.
