During this time of year, most gardens are overflowing with squash and zucchini - I thought it would be fun (and tasty) to put a spin on a traditional cole slaw recipe by adding some of them into it. The flavors meld together so well, and the colors that the dish produces are just so beautiful. Plus, by adding these veggies into the slaw - you get a whole new health element added.
