This is one of my favorite recipes! I make it without mixing the slaw & salsa ( red salsa is good too). It is great with cilantro & diced avocado mixed and 2 tblsp on top. We also have substituted the feta cheese with low fat sharp cheddar cheese. Have made recipe as it is written and also with substitutes because of my kids not liking feta or slaw mix.
