Quick-Toss Fruit Slaw

FloridaNative's Note:

Another recipe from my Publix Grocery "Greenwise" magazine. Easy to make and great for diabetics watching their carbohydrate intake. Use pre-package cole-slaw mix or shred your own. This might also be good using brocolli slaw mix.

This is certainly a great new way for making slaw, at least in my kitchen, & I pretty much followed the recipe, although I used 1 large apple (mostly for the crunch) & increased the amount of dried fruit (which included a good amount of dried Fuji apple chunks) to almost 2 cups! We'd be most happy to have this slaw served again & again in the coming months! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC tag]

Thanks for sharing this! I used the suggested raisins and cranberries, but no pineapple. I eliminated the red cabbage and it was fine! The non-fat vanilla yogurt was the perfect low calorie healthy solution to moisten all and add flavor. I also added a packet of splenda, although its not really needed. I just love the sweetness.
