**This recipe was not modified for those on an endometriosis diet, however coleslaw dressing does contain milk ingredients so you may want to substitute coleslaw and dressing with shredded lettuce. It’s not that much milk and I’ve been really good about my diet so I just decided to cheat on this one.
