Submitted by Rita1652

"This is a lite and refreshing NO mayo recipe. This has lots of flavor from the cardamom and a hint of flavor from the lavender. Crunch from the salty almonds and Crunch & sweetness from apples and honey. You can use store bought apple chips or my recipe #73792 To make it easy use store bought sliced cabbage. And a Juicy Pop from the grapes."

For more balance of color, next time I'll use red seedless grapes, not green, and a little bit of red cabbage. I would like to try the salad dressing alone on mixed greens sometime, too. Loved the combination of flavors. Used your dried apple recipe to make the chips. Thanks for sharing. cg

This is a nice alternative to an ordinary cole slaw. I would say it has a somewhat exotic flavor. For our taste, I will slightly reduce the cardamom next time. I could not find apple chips in the store, so I baked some dried apple rings in a slow oven to dry them out (although they did not crisp up until they cooled). The slaw wilts over time, so you can choose how crisp your salad will be by how far ahead you make it.

My wife and I both liked this a lot. We liked it even better the next day. Next time, I may blanch the cabbage first as I like it not so crispy when I eat cole slaw.
