Take-out Tuesday, Fall Coleslaw

the Painted Apron

2 years ago

Coleslaw is a year round favorite side dish

that you can turn into a special Fall salad

by adding apples and cranberries

It also has walnuts for a delicious crunch factor

and another layer of flavor

It is tossed with a bleu cheese dressing

which is a nice contrast to the sweet apples and cranberries

If you’re not a fan of bleu cheese

Maple Mustard dressing is also great with this salad,

the maple adding even more Fall flavor

Both dressing recipes are included

in the printable recipe at the end of this post

This salad is easy to put together with Coleslaw Mix

First put the desired amount of coleslaw in a large salad bowl

Add dressing of choice

Toss to combine dressing evenly with coleslaw mix

Dice the apple and put it on top of the dressed coleslaw

along with walnuts and cranberries

At this point cover salad and refrigerate it until serving time

When ready to serve, toss salad again

to incorporate the apples, cranberries and walnuts
