Kale Slaw with Barbecue Walnut Crumble
A raw, nutritious update to cabbage coleslaw gets an added kick of flavor with the addition of a smoky barbecue topping.
Shredded kale offers a creative edge to classic coleslaw. Topped with a barbecue-inspired walnut crumble, this dish is perfect for backyard picnics (if the weather cools off enough).

3 cups shredded cabbage
2-1/2 cups shredded kale
