“Summer Safe” Hacks for Picnic Cole Slaw

As summer approaches we all will be eating more of our meals outdoors with family and friends. Here in the Galilee the summer sun can make foods spoil very quickly.

Many of us thought that summer food poisoning was caused by the mayonnaise in coleslaw and potato salad. Others, based on folklore think the culprit was onions.

No matter what you believe, here’s a great fresh, cooling salad for your BBQ or picnic that avoids both ingredients. The cashews give it an extra crunch and body. It’s a real crowd pleaser.

Just remember not to leave the food out longer than 4 hours and try to keep it cool as long as possible before eating it!

Have a fun and healthy summer!
