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.

FRUIT COLESLAW



Fruit Coleslaw image

A recipe I did a few years ago and that was very good. When I made it I used raisins instead of walnuts.

Provided by Boomette

Categories     Apple

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups cabbage, grated, packed
2 red apples, unpeeled, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup salad dressing or 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, put cabbage, apples and walnuts.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add this dressing to the cabbage mix. Stir to coat well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple color.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade or a sharp knife.
  • Use a variety of fruits. This will add sweetness, crunch, and flavor to your coleslaw. Some good choices include apples, grapes, pineapple, and berries.
  • Make a creamy dressing. A creamy dressing is the classic choice for coleslaw. You can use mayonnaise, sour cream, or Greek yogurt as the base. Add some vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw with fruit is a refreshing and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give coleslaw with fruit a try.
