Author Notes: On a recent trip to Southwest Florida, I was served a version of cole slaw brightened with an orange-sesame viniagrette. The crunch and the tangy flavors stayed with me when I returned home to 18F temperatures, so to keep my optimism alive during February, I developed my own version. The bright colors and zesty taste are refreshing during a season of heavier foods…and all the ingredients are available during the winter! —Windischgirl
