TROPICAL SLAW

This refreshing dish is an excellent accompaniment to any meal on a hot day. I also enjoy it during the cold months-the blend of crunch cabbage, sweet fruit and chewy coconut seems to mentally transport me to a warm tropical island. It goes over well at potlucks. -Anna Marie Nicholas, Americus, Georgia

TROPICAL APPLE CARROT SLAW

Tropical Apple Carrot Slaw image

This slaw is a lighter take on Waldorf and carrot salad, with a tropical spin. Light, refreshing and very tasty! It's best eaten the same day. It can keep a few days, but will not look freshly made. Great for an outdoor party or picnic since there is no mayo.
