Autumn Slaw with Pecans & Dried Cranberries Recipe

This autumn slaw is a nice alternative to the traditional summer slaws that we typically think of that are slathered in mayonnaise. Its colors are vibrant and each bite bursts with a fresh flavor-filled crunch. It’s great with the addition of toasted almonds. This dish is super simple to prepare and can be enjoyed as a side dish or would make a nice addition to a salad of mixed greens of your choice. For an extra hearty and protein-filled meal, I would recommend adding an excellent ingredient such as quinoa.
