Wonderfully tangy and refreshing, and the perfect side dish to any meal!
Summer has officially hit, actually it hit like 3 weeks ago, with its scorching hot 90+ degree F weather so for this week’s installment of #SundaySupper, we are beating the summer heat by bringing you recipes that can be prepared quickly and without the use of an oven. That being said, I bring you a quick and easy coleslaw with a secret ingredient: granny smith apples. I was definitely a bit skeptical about the apples but it actually brought such a nice, refreshing tartness to the slaw that was very well balanced with the lemony-poppy-seed dressing. Plus, it’s such a nice twist on boring old, traditional coleslaw. Best of all, it serves as the perfect side dish to almost anything!
So here’s how you make this:
You’ll need some green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot and apple. You could alternatively use a store-bought coleslaw mixture and add in the apples.
Next we’ll make the dressing with some mayo, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, poppy seeds, salt and pepper.
Then we’ll dump the dressing into the cabbage mixture and give it a good stir.
Be sure to let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so to let the flavors really meld.
