SWEET AND TANGY COLESLAW



Sweet and Tangy Coleslaw image

This is the only coleslaw I'll eat! Sweet thanks to the apples and raisins, and tangy thanks to the vinegar in the dressing. You can use any kind of apples you prefer (though I'd suggest not swapping out the granny smiths). I personally prefer jonagolds or golden delicious apples to red delicious (I simply put these in the recipe because they're common everywhere).

SWEET-AND-SPICY COLESLAW



Sweet-and-Spicy Coleslaw image

While many traditional coleslaws contain sugar, this one gets its subtle sweetness from honey, apple, and raisins. Cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and several cancers.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup golden raisins
1 small head napa cabbage (2 pounds), ribs removed, leaves thinly sliced crosswise
2 medium carrots, shredded (2 cups)
1 small apple, such as Granny Smith, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons spicy stone-ground mustard, preferably Creole, or spicy brown mustard
1 large jalapeno chile, stem, ribs, and seeds removed, minced (3 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the slaw: Cover raisins with boiling water in a small bowl, and let soak for 15 minutes. Drain. Toss together raisins, cabbage, carrots, and apple in a large bowl.
  • Make the dressing: Whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Pour in olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until emulsified. Toss slaw with dressing just before serving.
