Notes: This slaw keeps beautifully in the fridge for 2–3 days — the flavors get even better. Add pumpkin seeds right before serving to keep the crunch. Every color in this bowl represents a different family of phytonutrients — compounds that support immune function, reduce inflammation, and help the body do its best healing work. Eating the rainbow isn’t just pretty — it’s purposeful.
