Winter Citrus Slaw

Citrus is at its peak this time of the year, so why not enjoy it!  Although it is great to snack on citrus as a healthy dessert, I like to add it to savory items too!  Like the Winter Citrus Slaw I am sharing with you today.  I use kumquats, lemons, and oranges in this slaw to give it loads of fresh aromatic flavor.  It is colorful, healthy, and delicious. It is a great side dish with protein (I like it with sautéed tempeh or grilled tofu) for a light lunch.  I make a big batch on the weekend, and this becomes my part of lunch during the week.
