Balsamic Red Cabbage, Bacon And Avocado Slaw
Here's the silver lining to allergy-friendly food: It's really easy to prepare and enjoy! Invite everyone (yes, everyone) to the table with chef/blogger Heather Christo's new cookbook, Pure Delicious. If it's an allergen to anyone, it's off the table (but you'd never know it!)
This crunchy, sweet, and salty combination is a fresh take on slaw to serve with anything grilled or piled on a burger. Because cabbage stands up so well to dressing, this is an excellent dish to make ahead or bring to a party — just add the avocado at the last minute.
