Blueberry & Almond Brunch Slaw Recipe
About to make a small amount of coleslaw one day an inspiration came to me to make a fruited version with blueberries. But then I couldn’t stop at that - what would compliment the blueberries? Almonds! Next a binder sauce of yogurt , and quickly this little salad-making side trip became a beautiful and healthy brunch slaw! You’ll love the crunch of cabbage and almonds and the sweetness of blueberries here. Heart-healthy and diabetes-friendly, this recipe makes a novel slaw for breakfast, lunch or brunch. Seriously ~ try it!

I like the use of yogurt in place of mayonnaise. Using blueberries as a sweetener to balance the tang of yogurt, is a great idea. They also add a nice splash of color. I can't wait to try this.
