With summer in full swing, I’m always looking for ways to make new recipes a little bit lighter, while still totally delicious! In this recipe I turned traditional cole-slaw into healthy kale-slaw, and added tons of flavor with a Fuji Apple salad dressing. The crunchy slaw with the sweet and tart apple vinaigrette is perfection.

I served this scrumptious slaw on top of Chipotle Apple Shredded Brisket Sandwiches, and oh my gosh was it delicious!
