I discovered this easy, healthy 2-ingredient salad at a recent WW Online Workshop. They suggested adding chopped apple and shredded rotisserie chicken breast to make it a complete meal.
In a large mixing bowl, add the coleslaw mix, Skinny Girl Poppy Seed Dressing, and any optional ingredients.
Toss everything together until the coleslaw mix is evenly coated with the dressing. Add salt and pepper as desired.
Let the coleslaw sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for up to an hour for a colder, crispier salad.
