Another office birthday challenge! Our birthday girl Jenn is not a big fan of cakes and desserts so this month's birthday challenge: come up with a fresh & healthy alternative! I tried this Weight Watchers recipe, Apple Slaw and I have to say it was a BIG hit!! Very refreshing and tasty. This would make a great addition to any summer party as well!
Since I was making this for a crowd I doubled the recipe. I also used both types of cabbage, Savoy & Napa and had to substitute shredded carrots for the Jicama, since my grocery store has a very limited produce selection. Jica-what? Jica-who? Candied walnuts & dried cranberries added a sweet and tangy finish to this dish which for my Weight Watchers followers comes in at
4 points = 1 Cup.
