Jalapeno Basil Slaw

[Guest guest]

I'm saving the best for last! I've wanted this recipe for *months* now, ever

since I had this at Nava. I sent a request to our local newspaper that has a

new feature in their food section for requests for local restaurant recipes. My

request was fulfilled this week!!! I've never been a big huge fan of coleslaw,

but I loved this stuff!!! Brenda Adams -- take note (if you ever get out of

that motor home)!!
