CONFETTI VEGGIE SLAW (RAINFOREST CAFE)
We had the Napa Veggies at the Rainforest Cafe and knew we had to find a way to make something similiar at home. My kids now say that our recipe is better than the Rainforest Cafe's. There is a lot of room for personal taste with this recipe, add other veggies or take out those you don't like. Our favorite is the Jicima, we could never leave that one out! This recipe makes a ton, but it keeps well. It will still be nice & crispy 4 days later.

Steps:
- Combine all the veggies in a large bowl. I use my mandolin to cut everything since there is so much julienning to do. In a small bowl, mix vinegar, sugar, oil, salt & pepper. Pour over veggies. Cover & marinate in the refrigerator. We will eat it right away, but as it sits the veggies soak up the flavors.

RAINFOREST SLAW
I've had this in my recipe book for awhile, and can't remember where it came from. I seem to recall pulling it from a newspaper or magazine, but blasted if I could tell you which one. I think maybe it's a clone of a Rainforest Cafe recipe? Regardless, this is a great coleslaw for people who don't like mayonnaise!
