Tasty Tuesday: Apple Slaw

Hello again!

Is it seriously almost February? 2012 is flying by!

Just kidding!

But seriously.

Anyway, I posted this recipe on my blog recently, and I've been so excited about the recipe I felt it necessary to share it with you.

Backstory: Over the holidays, we go together with some of my husband's co-workers. The hostess made a mouth-watering crockpot of slow-cooked Pulled Pork for sandwiches. When I say mouth-watering, I mean SERIOUSLY. So, another friend did what any rational guest would do. She brought a side of homemade coleslaw.

The best coleslaw I've ever had.

And I don't even LIKE coleslaw.

But I do now.

I digress.

This slaw is so amazing. I love it because it's light - it doesn't use tons of mayo. And it has apples, thus the name, Apple Slaw.

Go make it now.

....

Why are you still here?

Oh right - you are waiting for the recipe. Here it is:

Krista's Apple Slaw

For the Dressing:

• 1/2-3/4 cup of mayo (depending on what texture you are going for)
• 1 TBSP dijon mustard
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
• Juice of one lemon
• Salt and pepper.

For Slaw:

• 1/2 head of cabbage, sliced very thin
• 2 carrots, shredded
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced half moon
• 1 gala apple, julienned

(If you want to simplify, you can also use 1/2 container of bagged coleslaw mix, adding the onions and apples as stated above)


Combine the slaw vegetables with the dressing.

Chill in the refrigerator for a hour.

Serve!

You will thank me.

Have a good week!
