Description

A refreshing and crunchy Cranberry Apple Coleslaw that combines the sweetness of apples and dried cranberries with the creamy tang of a honey-ginger dressing. Perfect as a side dish for picnics, barbecues, or a light lunch.


Ingredients

Scale

Dressing

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • ½ teaspoon dried ground ginger

Coleslaw

  • 14-ounce bag coleslaw mix
  • 1 large apple, cored and chopped
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped


Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, plain yogurt, honey, and dried ground ginger. Mix well until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to let the flavors meld while preparing the coleslaw.
  2. Assemble the coleslaw: In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, chopped apple, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and green onions. Pour the chilled dressing over the mixture and toss thoroughly to evenly coat all ingredients. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the plain yogurt with a non-dairy alternative and use a dairy-free mayonnaise.
  • Chilling the dressing before mixing enhances the flavors and texture of the coleslaw.
  • To keep the apples from browning, toss them briefly in a little lemon juice before adding.
  • This coleslaw can be made a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated to allow flavors to develop further.
