Number Of Ingredients 6

1 apple, cut into matchsticks
1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1/3 cup chopped dried cherries
Juice from half a lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • Combine apple, walnuts, dried cherries, lemon juice, and olive oil; season. Slice a pork tenderloin into rounds, press gently to flatten, season, and cook in an oiled pan over medium-high until browned. Serve with slaw.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your slaw a complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji.
  • Shred the apples and cabbage thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Toast the walnuts. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the slaw and make it less refreshing.
  • Serve the slaw chilled. This will help the flavors meld together and make the slaw even more refreshing.

This apple walnut slaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and flavorful side dish, give this apple walnut slaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
