SUMMER APPLE SLAW

From Southern Living May 2009 "Summer Living" Special Section, this is a nice combination of red and green fruits and veggies. Great as a side for bar-b-ques. You could probably use the short-cut of buying prepared slaw mix with the cabbages already shredded and ready to use - could even include matchstick carrots. NOTE: Prep time includes 1 hour chill time.
