You’ve heard the mantra that the more colorful your plate it, the healthier it is.  Yes, that is very true, but sometimes it is just as healthy to concentrate on one color for a dish.  For example, this fresh slaw made from green cabbage, sweet green apples and fresh fennel combines is fresh, crisp, and flavorful, not to mention…green!  The addition of peppery watercress and a light vinaigrette finishes off this nice side dish, plus a creative sprinkling of buttery pecans really makes this side dish shine!
