Summer picnic time is coming and this recipe makes a great side dish

Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime...oh, hi there, you caught me singing about my favorite time of the year -- SUMMER! It's only a few weeks away and the latest finalist in the "Livin' La Vida Shirataki Recipe Contest" has a side that will go along great with hamburgers or hot dogs on the grill.

Chelsea S. from Pennsylvania came up with the idea to use Konjac Shirataki Noodles in a Shirataki Summer Slaw recipe that will add a healthy variety to the usual summer picnic fare. What a refreshing way to spend your day in the month of May (I'm a poet and don't know it!). Eat up!
