Coleslaw With Apple and Onion

Submitted by Dreamer in Ontario

"This is my favourite coleslaw. The dressing is much lighter than the usual coleslaw dressing. It comes from Anne Lindsay's "Smart Cooking"."

This was a great change of pace that I was happy to serve for a friend who hates mayo-based slaw. I made it with a red cabbage from my CSA box, which made it absolutely gorgeous to look at! I think I may have oversalted it at first, because just before serving I felt I needed to add a few spoons of sugar to balance the flavor. Turned out great! Made for Veg Swap 36.

As we were eating this I realized I forgot to add the lemon juice so I quickly stirred some in. Served with portabello mushroom burgers, fresh plums for a yummy but easy Saturday dinner. I used both red onion and scallions and wish I had some red cabbage on hand to add but didn't. Most of the ingredients were from our CSA box, too. Thanks for posting. Reviewed for Veg Tag/July.

I chose this for kittencalskitchen forum tag game, it's a wonderful coleslaw that improves in flavor after chilling, I used Greek yogurt add in some garlic powder and seasoned it with season salt, thank you Dorit, this will be enjoyed all week!

This is a very good Coleslaw recipe. Lightens it up nicely and you don't really give up taste. I liked all the different tastes and textures, too. Home run!

This is very good. The dressing was just right for us without the dill and no added sugar. Liked the crunchiness and sweet of the apple. Kind of a cross between waldorf and coleslaw! Was great with the baby-back ribs we had.
