Crunchy Red Cabbage Slaw Salad

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"Another recipe that I collected with an eye to eating healthier. I think red cabbage is underused anyway. If you threw some cooked chicken in with this if you wanted a bit more substance in this light meal. You could also more than likely use light mayo to make it even lower in fat. This is from British TV cook Silvana Franco and was first published in the July 2006 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine."

This slaw is very good, my mom just made it. She chopped the apple instead of grating it. I think we will start buying red cabbage to make slaw more often.

This was a quick and healthy light meal for my family of 3. I used my food processor to slice all the veggies. I added fresh ground pepper to the dressing. It's really a very filling dish with very little calories. Made for Holiday tag.

We liked this but it wasn't over the top wow in our opinion. The dressing is like a creamy vinagrette. It was a nice change from 'standard' coleslaw! We all agreed that having the apple in the salad & omiting the usual sugar in the dressing was a nice change. Made for the vegetarian recipe swap 8/08. :)
