Summertime Slaw
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + cooling Cook: 10 min. + chilling
YIELD: 12 servings.
As a change from mayonnaise-laden slaw, I created this refreshing alternative. It uses many of the garden vegetables I grow, so it's also economical. I serve it at our family reunion each Fourth of July, and it's always a big hit at get-togethers. —Sharon Payne, Mayfield, Kentucky
