Confetti Coleslaw
Marilou Robinson of Portland loves Mexican food and says, "You can skip a lot of sour cream and cheese if you add enough cilantro and peppers." This zesty, no-fat slaw--great for barbecues, picnics, and potlucks--has plenty of each. If there's any left over, Robinson heats it in the microwave just until hot but still tender-crisp and serves it as a vegetable side dish.
