YUMMY APPLE COLESLAW



Yummy Apple Coleslaw image

We adored this simple coleslaw recipe. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy with a bit of savoriness. The pairing of tart green apples and sweet red apples add tons of flavor. Initially, we were a little concerned there was not enough mayo. But, once it sat in the fridge for a bit and we gave it a good stir it was perfectly creamy. A nice twist on coleslaw for summer BBQ's and potlucks.

CRANBERRY APPLE COLESLAW



Cranberry Apple Coleslaw image

I adapted this from a recipe I found on here. I wanted to use up some apples and an open bag of leftover coleslaw. This recipe is simply delicious with some nice clean fall flavors. This is nothing like the creamy wet coleslaw you would get at a deli. Its light, crisp, and crunchy.

APPLE COLE SLAW

Provided by CHEF GRPA

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.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter coleslaw, use a sweeter variety of apple, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji.
  • For a tarter coleslaw, use a tarter variety of apple, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apple and cabbage.
  • Be sure to drain the coleslaw well before adding the dressing. This will help to prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
  • If you're making the coleslaw ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Apple coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer picnics and potlucks. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. With its sweet and tangy flavor, apple coleslaw is sure to be a hit with everyone at your next gathering.
