    Happy 4th of July everyone!  If you are like me and plan on cooking out with family and friends, here is an easy, healthy twist on a fattening salad.  Broccoli slaw usually contains mayo or some other type of fattening dressing.  Well this one is DELICIOUS and doesn't need all the high calorie dressings!  It's low in calorie and all raw.  You can add whatever you like to this.  I bet dried beans would be great too.  I mean, how pretty is this?

    I added some chopped red bell pepper, sliced kiwis and apples, dried cranberries and sliced walnuts.  The best part (besides these yummy raw ingredients) is the amazing CHIA Balsamic dressing!  I like to keep this dressing in my fridge AT ALL TIMES (no joke...I am obsessed).  When I make this slaw, I like to dress it right before I eat it so the whole salad doesn't get soggy, you know what I mean?  Ok, now let's talk about how EASY this is to make...

    Chia Balsamic Vinaigrette

    1 organic red bell pepper, seeded & chopped
