This salad is fabulous. It works because it is super cheap (can you say $1.99 a bag at Walmart or the grocery store), and it is unique and nutritious. Since I have been asked for the recipe, here it is. EASY!
Broccoli Slaw
1 bag broccoli slaw (premade in the salad section)
1/4 cup veganaise (I use the soy free from the health food store)
2 tsp sugar (I use 2 packets of stevia or 2 tsp raw sucanat)
1 1/4 tsp vinegar (I use raw apple cider vinegar)
Mix all the dressing ingredients together and pour it on the broccoli slaw. Le t it sit in the fridge for at least two hours to meld the flavors. Enjoy at a potluck, family party, or for an easy dinner salad.

Mixed Berry Salad with Cinnamon Walnuts (and Lemon or Lime agave dressing)
Mixed Berry Salad with Cinnamon Walnuts
From: FAVES by Melissa Chappell
1 1/3 Cups walnuts (could use pecans or almonds)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 TBS agave (raw or use honey)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 LB Spring Mix
2 Cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
One batch lime agave dressing (use lemon instead of lime..I'll post dressing recipe below)
Mix the walnuts, cinnamon, agave and salt in a bowl until the walnuts are sticky and coated with the cinnamon and agave. Set aside. Toss the spring mix in a big bowl with the mixed berries and half of the lime (lemon) agave dressing. If you prefer a wetter, more dressed salad, feel free to use more dressing. When everything is well coated, portion your salad out onto salad plates and top with the cinnamon walnuts.
Lemon (or Lime) Agave Dressing
1/2 Cups lemon juice (or lime)
1/2 cup olive oil
3-4 TBS agave
1/2 tsp salt
Whisk all ingredients together and serve. This is especially good over green salads with fruit in them. For a more exotic dressing, you may add 1-3 drops lavender essential oil.
