  5. Place a row of strawberries along the bottom of the coleslaw covered platter, followed by a row of crumbled feta.
  6. Fill the top left corner with blueberries.
  7. Finish the stripes with another row of  strawberries, a row of slivered almonds and one last row of strawberries. 
  8. To make the blueberry balsamic drizzle, whisk the wild blue preserves, olive oil and balsamic vinegar together in a small bowl. 
  9. Drizzle the arranged star-spangled slaw with about 1 tablespoon of the blueberry balsamic drizzle.

  11. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

All of these ingredients can be tossed together and enjoyed served pre-mixed in a bowl instead of as a flag shape.
