I love a good slaw and this is something I may not have tried it if it wasn’t for my friend and fellow blogger Kimbrough Daniels. This is no ordinary slaw; no mayonnaise and no celery seed but there is apple, red onion, shallots and cilantro. It is light and refreshing with lots great flavor.
My husband loved it and I knew he would, he loves anything with apples. And this is a great salad to take to a picnic because you don’t have to worry about the mayo getting bad!
Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbs minced shallot
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
Slaw:
1 small head of cabbage, shredded
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 or 2 apples, julienned (Honey Crisp or Pink Lady)
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
In a jar with a lid combine all dressing ingredients. With lid tight, shake well until combined. Place all the slaw ingredients in a large bowl, pour dressing over slaw and toss until the slaw is well coated. Chill for at least 30 minutes and enjoy!
*My husband suggested using Granny Smith apples to make it more tart…I think I’ll give it a try next time I make it because I will be making it again!
