Enjoy Homemade Coleslaw but With Extra Nutrition

Traditional coleslaw recipes and premade products have become a BBQ classic, on the other hand, they are high in saturated fat and calories. According to the USDA, one cup of traditional coleslaw has more than 300 calories and 3 grams of saturated fat.

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends consuming no more than 13 grams of saturated fat per day on a 2,000-calorie diet. So just the coleslaw would put you over your daily allowance by 23%. Saturated fats should be avoided because they're proven can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol and increase your risk of heart disease. Instead, use fresh tarragon, green apple, fennel, celery, flat-leaf parsley, white cabbage, a squirt of apple cider vinegar, and a drizzle of grapeseed oil to make a light and tasty classic.
