Quick Tips:
If you are okay with meat, add shredded chicken or turkey instead of tofu (this also works for a Paleo option). Chickpeas also work nice in the slaw as well.
Nutritional Highlights:
Carrots
A half-cup serving of chopped carrot contains 1.8 grams (g) of fiber and 205 milligrams (mg) of potassium. Potassium is a wonderful electrolyte, making carrots a great option for kidney health and keeping your minerals balanced.
