Recipe Box, Christmas Coleslaw

This red and green salad goes together in minutes, and is a refreshing change from heavy holiday food

It’s crispy crunchy and full of holiday flavors

Romaine is cut into ribbons and combined with prepared coleslaw mix

Top with dried cranberries, pistachios, sliced almonds and crispy sweet apple pieces

I love to keep an array of salad toppings in the pantry for quick fix salads

and you don’t have to labor over peeling and coring the apple

Cut the apple on 4 sides, leaving the square core intact and discard core

Place the apple pieces cut side down on board and slice thinly and then cut those slices in half

takes only a minute or two

Add nuts and cranberries and toss with your favorite vinaigrette

These ingredients marry well with a champagne vinaigrette or a thin honey mustard like these dressings from Brianna’s

These are widely available, I got mine at Target

Or, whip up your own tasty Mustard & Maple dressing, recipe below

It’s light, refreshing and oh so tasty!

Use any proportion of ingredients you like. I use half romaine and half coleslaw mix for the salad base.
Cut romaine into ribbons and combine with equal amount of coleslaw mix. Slice apple into thin bite size slices, peel on. Add apple and other toppings to salad and toss with dressing of choice.
