Cabbage, Cranberry, and Apple Slaw Recipe
A Bright Addition to Your Brown-Bag Lunch
Suffering from brown-bag lunch fatigue? Here's my prescription for putting the kick back in your step without devoting hours to morning prep. Side effects may include looking forward to lunch hour all morning long, a lack of food coma, and co-worker envy. Made with red cabbage ribbons, crisp sliced apple, and nutty pecans, it's not only fresh tasting, but also sturdy enough to stand up to a few days in the fridge, meaning you can enjoy it all workweek long.
