I’m holding onto summer for dear life. I’m so so not ready for cooler weather and all that comes with it. Snow, for example… no thank you.
While I can’t control the weather, I can control the veggies I’m placing on my table. This summery, flavorful slaw is me protesting all the fall things that are popping up everywhere.
Just a few ingredients come together with big flavor. The pecans and toasted noodles add a little crunch, and it’s a great veggie pairing to your favorite meals.
NTTC Tip: I store the salad in single-serving containers, so they’re easy to grab for snacks and such! Yum!
