So summertime is an especially lazy time. I mean really... who wants to be anywhere near a heat source when its 85* and up? I don't. So here is a ridiculously easy salad and a healthy sweet alternative to coleslaw. If you are serving it immediately, feel free to add some chopped granny smith apples. Yum.
