I love the idea of cole slaw, but I’m not a big fan of using mayonnaise. I prefer a healthier version of cole slaw with great flavor that will make it more than just a side dish. I want it to delight my taste buds. Believe me when I say, this Light and Easy Honey Lime Cole Slaw will make even the most doubtful cole slaw eater a believer. It’s full of flavor that will keep you heart healthy and happy!
Don’t get me wrong, there are times when I will use mayo, but this is just not one of those times. In my cole slaw, I prefer a vinegar base with extra virgin olive oil, but to add sweetness and some zest, I add honey and fresh lime juice. It definitely isn’t rocket science, but it definitely is delicious! Use it as a side dish, on fish tacos, on pulled pork sandwiches, or any number of ways.

This cole slaw recipe has great flavor and is actually much healthier than a mayo based slaw. So give it a try, and enjoy!
Having fresh vegetables to eat straight from the garden is wonderful! I feel extremely grateful that we are able to have a garden and enjoy fresh vegetables all summer long. I love watching them grow, and I love picking them from the garden, preparing them for a meal, and finally, finding new ways to use them in my recipes! We can’t grow everything we’d like, but the Harvest Market in our town provides weekly anything else we might need or want during the spring to fall months. Summer is a wonderful time for fresh produce, and I love it! 
This recipe is enough for two sides with a meal or one meal salad. Put the red lettuce in your bowl and then add the chopped green onions and Roma tomatoes. Spread the apple pieces over the top of the salad, followed by the goat cheese. Add the Honey Mustard Vinaigrette last.
