Summer Slaw Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

I cannot get enough of this color in this salad! Remember back in January I made you a winter farrow slaw salad with blood orange vinaigrette? Well, today I am updating the recipe for you to enjoy for the rest of the summer! I really like the hearty crunchy nature of this salad (cabbage, kohlrabi, and a grain mix) because even during the summer, I need a filling salad to bring to work! It also keeps well if you want to make it ahead, and tastes good cold, what else do you need in a salad? Avocado, you need avocado, but it has that too!

Fresh Corn, Nectarines and a Bright Lemon Vinaigrette are the perfect ingredients to transform this dish to a summer classic!
