Rainbow Cole Slaw With Mandarin Oranges
This is the third version of this cole slaw on my website. It began with the Rainbow Slaw in the Copycat Rainforest Cafe Lettuce Wraps and Thai Chicken Salad appetizer where it had golden raisins and then the Rainbow Cole Slaw where the raisins were replaced with beets. For this version the main change is the mandarin oranges that are in season now late in winter.
