As part of his food demonstration, Chef Stan, prepared Power Slaw, seasoned with Greek yogurt and fresh pineapple. (The recipe is featured below.)
“I call it Power Slaw because it really has a lot of the cancer-fighting phytochemicals [2]. This is really a plain and simple recipe,” Chef Stan says.
Packed with fresh and local produce, the recipe is also free of preservatives.
