FRUITY COLESLAW

This coleslaw stays crisp and fresh-tasting because of its light vinaigrette dressing, which is just a mixture of oil, vinegar, and seasonings. Adding one of the five fruits — take your pick of oranges, clementines, grapefruit, apple, or pear — gives the slaw a little sweetness … and a lot of personality.
