a healthy spring slaw recipe

i already talked about this salad here, but wanted to mention it again because i think it's the perfect salad for springtime . this lemony cabbage-avocado slaw recipe is from whole foods. it's healthy, colorful and i think it would be a great accompaniment to a fish or chicken meal. here's the recipe (i used all the ingredients except the hemp seeds because i couldn't find them in my grocery store, but i'm sure you could use sunflower seeds as a substitute):


Lemony Cabbage-Avocado Slaw

Creamy avocado and bright lemon make great partners in this colorful salad.
