Apple Coleslaw Salad Recipe

Starting with Memorial Day weekend and continuing all the way through Labor Day weekend, summer is a season of cookouts and picnics. I love getting together with friends and family, especially when we share the responsibility of preparing the food. I’ve discovered some of my favorite recipes at these potluck events since we all tend to bring our cherished family favorites to share with one another. At a cookout years ago, I remember a friend bringing what she called “Apple Slaw.” Unfortunately, I didn’t get the recipe from her at the time, but I think I’ve come pretty close after a couple of experiments. This cacophany of sweet and sour, crisp and creamy deliciousness is a flavorful twist on a picnic standard. I call it Apple Coleslaw Salad.

Don’t be put off by the strange list of ingredients. I know they don’t seem like they should all be combined together, but I promise the result is better than what you’d expect. Also, your apples should be julienned, but I cut mine to look like french fries to entice the children to eat it (I do whatever I can to get my kids to eat vegetables without complaining!). If you prefer to make your own coleslaw mix, you can substitute one medium cabbage (finely shredded) and two carrots (peeled and julienned) for the packaged coleslaw.
