Trader Joe product rave with recipe for light slaw...

Love this Trader Ming's BBQ Chicken Teriyaki - it's microwavable - aka fast dinner & the ingredients are easy to read - aka no preservatives.

Check out the ingredients: Skinless Chicken Leg Meat, Water, Sugar, Soy Sauce (Water, Wheat Soybean, Salt), Salt, Sake (Rice, Water, Yeast), Lime Juice, Ginger, Garlic, Green Onion.

The only downside is the amount of sodium, but easy solution – only use one of the two bags of sauce they provide. There is more than enough sauce in one bag. (Especially if you’re not adding a rice dish & need the extra sauce.)


Now for the slaw!
This is another recipe I sampled from Loser for Life . Marisa has some great recipes on her blog. This is the second one I've had so far.

Light Slaw with Cranberries & Honey

Ingredients

¦16 oz package coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
¦1/3 cup dried cranberries
¦1 green onion, sliced (green and light green parts only)
¦1 Tbsp olive oil
¦2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
¦1 Tbsp honey
¦1 tsp salt

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey and salt. Add coleslaw mix, green onions and cranberries to bowl with dressing. Toss well. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Makes 8 servings. 1 PointsPlus per serving.

I have to be honest….I couldn’t break it into 8 servings. Chat Icon We split it into 4. At 4 servings it came out to 3 PointsPlus per serving.

Enjoy!
