One of my favorite side salads or lunches to make is a slaw. This beautiful hearty and healthy slaw was inspired by the lovely purple hue of chive blossom vinegar I had just made. Another thing I love about slaws is that they are such a great make ahead meal and they can be made with whatever seasonal vegetables you have available. Because I make my slaws with dairy free and egg free dressings they are more safely portable in the warmer summer months.
