Summer Slaw with Spicy Nuts & Seeds
It doesn’t feel much like summer here in San Clemente, with lots of gray days and great whites in the water. I’m channeling my inner-sunshine and thinking about warmer days to come with this salad.
It is super customizable with options for different seeds and nuts of your choice, and any dressing you like. I always use this dressing with fresh herbs and garlic but feel free to use something else!
Have fun!
