This light and spicy new twist on an old favorite has no added fat. Allow several hours for marinating or make the salad a day ahead and refrigerate it. Hot and sweet, this slaw is perfect for picnics; serve alongside sandwiches, burgers or grilled chicken.

INGREDIENTS

6 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
2 medium fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped
6 green onions, coarsely chopped
2 jalapeño peppers,* finely chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
*Jalapeño peppers can sting and irritate the skin, so wear rubber gloves when handling peppers and do not touch your eyes.

PREPARATION:

  1. Combine cabbage, tomatoes, green onions, jalapeño peppers, vinegar, honey and salt in serving bowl; mix well. Cover; chill at least 2 hours before serving.
  2. Stir well immediately before serving.
Tip
For a milder coleslaw, discard the seeds and veins when chopping the jalapeños, as this is where much of the heat of the peppers is stored.
