HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello, everyone! I have a great recipe for you to start of 2008 with a blast!

For the past couple of years, my family has celebrated New Year's Day with my friend, Missy and her family. Missy and I were both raised in Texas, so we like to share traditional appetizers and meals to ring in the New Year. Today, we had black-eyed peas, tangy coleslaw, mango-chutney dip with chips and her homemade red velvet cake (who says staying healthy and fit means you have to give up everything?) Below is the coleslaw recipe I made up using a new healthy mayo on the market called Smart Balance. It's delicious! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tangy Coleslaw

(Makes 8 servings)

1 – 16 oz. bag of ready to eat shredded green cabbage and carrots

Dressing:

1 T. lemon juice

1 T. apple cider vinegar

½ c. Smart Balance mayonnaise

In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients together.
