Categories     Fruit

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups chopped cabbage
1 unpeeled red apple, cored and chopped
1 unpeeled Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
1 carrot, grated
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, red apple, green apple, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Pour dressing over salad.
  • My Note: You don't care for bell pepper and onions in our slaw, so I left them out and it was still scrumptious. Here is a little tip I heard about from a chef on the cable food network. As you know all veggies have quite a bit of water so if you but the cabbage in a colander and sprinkle a little salt over it. It will remove the excess water from the cabbage. This process takes about 30 minutes to an hour but it gives you a very crisp cabbage and the slaw is not watery. I did differently was to put a tablespoon of lemon juice on the apples while I chopped up the rest of the ingriedients, I did this the first time I made the salad, I didn't do it the second time and the apples turned brown after 2 days. I still added the lemon juice that the recipe calls for.
  • For a change of pace, I occasionally throw in pecans or sunflower seeds for a little something different -- This has joined a list of favorites in our household! I only used 1/4 cup of brown sugar and added a couple Tbl. of cider vinegar in addition to the lemon juice.
  • I always buy a pre-shredded cabbage/carrot mixture to make prep easier and also change up the apples from time to time (try Fuji or Gala, you must keep the granny smith though for the tartness). I skip the red pepper and sometimes add a little extra dressing. This is WONDERFUL and keeps for several days.

I have not made this as yet. But was looking for recipes to serve next weekend when we are having guests who tend to like veggies. So wanted to do some experimentation. This recipe also looked like a way to use our plentiful apple crop! Cook time is minimum refrigeration time.

PURPLE APPLE COLE SLAW



Purple Apple Cole Slaw image

This is such a delicious and very pretty Cole slaw. It goes fabulous with pork of any kind. I chop the cabbage, onion, and apples in the food processor; separately. We like the texture of chopped better than shredded, but you can certainly shred the cabbage, if you prefer. This is not a slaw swimming in the dressing. If you...

Tips:

- **Choose the right cabbage:** For a classic coleslaw, use green cabbage. For a sweeter slaw, use red cabbage. For a more peppery slaw, use savoy cabbage. - **Shred the cabbage finely:** This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly. - **Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage:** This will give you nice, even pieces of cabbage. - **Add other vegetables to the slaw:** Some popular additions include carrots, celery, and onions. - **Make the dressing ahead of time:** This will give the flavors time to meld. - **Taste the dressing before adding it to the slaw:** You may need to adjust the seasonings to your liking. - **Serve the slaw chilled:** This will help the flavors to come together. ###

Apple coleslaw is a refreshing and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking by adding different vegetables, fruits, or nuts. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty side dish, give apple coleslaw a try.
