Confetti Slaw

"This recipe used to be called Whole Grain and Crisp Vegetable Slaw—snooze. During the photo shoot, we commented on how the brightly colored carrots, cabbage and scallions almost made the dish look like confetti! Bye-bye, boring name (though it’s still delicious no matter what you call it)!"
