Here's an easy one. Orange juice-infused slaw sweetened with a touch of honey. Crunchy, chewy, a little sweet. The recipe is from a January 2006 issue of Delicious Living-a free magazine often available at health food stores.  

1/2 cup orange juice (I increased to 3/4 cup.)

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (I omitted the olive oil and subbed 1 tbsp honey.)

1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled, cored, and shredded (I used 2 Gala apples. Any sweet, crunchy variety like Gala, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp would be pefect.)

1 pound carrots (about 4 large), peeled and shredded (I used unpeeled carrots.)

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (I omitted.)

3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (I omitted.)

1/2 cup dried cranberries (I used apple juice sweetened.)

1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (I used 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds + 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds.)

 freshly ground black pepper (I omitted.)

In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice and honey. Add all of the remaining ingredients and toss well to coat with slaw dressing.
