SUMMER APPLE SLAW

From Southern Living May 2009 "Summer Living" Special Section, this is a nice combination of red and green fruits and veggies. Great as a side for bar-b-ques. You could probably use the short-cut of buying prepared slaw mix with the cabbages already shredded and ready to use - could even include matchstick carrots. NOTE: Prep time includes 1 hour chill time.

Yield 8 1 cup servings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 granny smith apples, thinly sliced
4 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 head)
4 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1/2 head)
1 medium cucumber, seeded and sliced
2 large jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely minced
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup raw honey
1/3 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)
2 teaspoons kosher sea salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

Combine apples, cabbages, cucumbers, and jalapenos in a large bowl.
Whisk together vinegar, honey, oil, salt and pepper. Toss with apple mixture.
Cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when shredded, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
Shred the apples thinly: This will help them to absorb the dressing and soften slightly.
Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your slaw, such as shredded carrots, cabbage, or bell peppers.
Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the slaw chilled: This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.

Apple slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. With its sweet, tangy, and crunchy flavors, it is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and healthy side dish, give this summer apple slaw a try!
