TRIPLE FRUIT COLESLAW



Triple Fruit Coleslaw image

A sweet & sour version of coleslaw that has been a big hit with my family & friends. I found this recipe in my local newspaper and adjusted it a bit to meet our needs. Prepared recipe makes about 12 servings. **Update 2/10** Once I read the review I realized I should have stated that due to the fruits within this coleslaw - it truly does not store well after 2 days. Adjust servings as needed to meet your needs.

COLESLAW WITH FRUIT



Coleslaw With Fruit image

We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious this coleslaw was. It's cool and creamy with just the right amount of cabbage mixed with the sweet fruit. This isn't overly sweet but is on the sweet side thanks to the fruit. It is a cross between a savory coleslaw and a fruit salad. All the fruits blend together nicely. Walnuts add...

Categories     Fruit Salads

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 c shredded cabbage
2 apples, thinly sliced
1 14-oz can(s) pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1/2 c green grapes
1/2 c red grapes
DRESSING:
1 c mayonnaise
1/2 c sour cream
4 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp sugar (or to taste)
dash(es) salt
dash(es) pepper
dash(es) ground cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Shred cabbage very fine, place into covered bowl or plastic bag and chill.
  • 2. Dressing: Blend together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Chill.
  • 3. Drain pineapple very well, wash grapes and add to pineapple; chill.
  • 4. Just before serving, wash, core and slice apples into thin slices, then in half again.
  • 5. Mix apples along with grapes and pineapple into cabbage. Toss to blend well.
  • 6. Add dressing and toss to coat. Don't add dressing all at once in case you don't need it all.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most commonly used cabbage for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. If you are using a head of cabbage, be sure to remove the tough outer leaves and core.
  • Shred the cabbage finely: You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become too mushy.
  • Add other vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, broccoli, and bell peppers.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Fruits add a sweet and refreshing flavor to coleslaw. Some popular fruits to use in coleslaw include apples, grapes, pineapple, and strawberries.
  • Choose a dressing that complements the flavors of the cabbage and fruit: There are many different dressings that you can use for coleslaw, such as mayonnaise-based dressings, vinegar-based dressings, and yogurt-based dressings.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving: Coleslaw is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken.

Conclusion:

Fruit coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a fruit coleslaw recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give fruit coleslaw a try.
