Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 lb shredded cabbage or coleslaw
3 medium carrots, shredded
3 medium red delicious apples, unpeeled & chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped ( i like to use red)
2/3 c light mayonnaise
1/3 c low fat or fat free sour cream
4 pkg splenda sweetner
1 Tbsp horseradish
1 1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 c raisins
dash of pepper

Steps:

1. Combine cabbage, carrots, apple & bell pepper in medium size bowl. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, splenda, mustard, lemon juice & pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together until well blended. Add raisins to cabbage and then mayonnaise mixture. Gently toss to combine.
2. Refrigerate covered 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to blend. VARIATION: Use dried cranberries instead of raisins if desired. Garnish with apple wedges and carrots if desired.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the coleslaw to be more crisp and flavorful.
Grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater. This will create long, thin shreds that will add texture and sweetness to the coleslaw.
Use a combination of mayonnaise and yogurt for the dressing. This will make the dressing creamy and tangy, without being too heavy.
Add a bit of Dijon mustard to the dressing for a little extra flavor.
Season the coleslaw with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Serve the coleslaw as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or pork. It can also be used as a topping for tacos or sandwiches.
