COLESLAW WITH FRUIT



Coleslaw With Fruit image

We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious this coleslaw was. It's cool and creamy with just the right amount of cabbage mixed with the sweet fruit. This isn't overly sweet but is on the sweet side thanks to the fruit. It is a cross between a savory coleslaw and a fruit salad. All the fruits blend together nicely. Walnuts add...

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.

Categories     Pineapple

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) can sliced pineapple
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 medium banana, sliced
3 cups finely shredded cabbage
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange sections, drained
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raisins
1 (8 ounce) carton orange flavored yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons syrup.
  • Cut up pineapple; set aside.
  • Combine the reserved syrup with the lemon juice.
  • Toss banana slices with 1 tablespoon of the juice mixture; set aside remaining juice.
  • Combine pineapple, banana, cabbage, celery, oranges, nuts and raisins in a large bowl.
  • Combine the reserved juice mixture with the yogurt and salt.
  • Add to cabbage mixture; toss lightly to coat.
  • Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, dense head of cabbage that is not too old or wilted. Green cabbage is the traditional choice, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both for a more colorful slaw.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to shred the cabbage.
  • Add a variety of fruits and nuts: The type of fruits and nuts you add to your slaw is up to you, but some popular choices include apples, carrots, raisins, almonds, and walnuts. You can also add dried fruit, such as cranberries or cherries, for a sweet and tangy flavor.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings a slaw together, so make sure to use a good-quality mayonnaise or yogurt. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as vinegar, mustard, honey, or herbs, to create a unique flavor.
  • Chill the slaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw more refreshing. You can chill the slaw for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

Fruit and nut slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a slaw that is both healthy and delicious. So next time you are looking for a side dish to serve with your favorite grilled or roasted meats, give fruit and nut slaw a try.
