Get ready to have your mind blown by this citrus slaw.

It’s vibrant and loaded with healthy ingredients but it’s packed with flavor. I especially love the tart note the kumquats add. But if you can’t find them you can use grapefruit instead.

You are going to be rocking this slaw out for lunch and dinner all summer long. And the store-bought chicken makes it so easy to throw together.

Enjoy xxx ChefMM
