Tasty & tangy! I added 1/4 C of chopped green onions for more flavor and turns out very well:)
I used maple syrup instead of sugar and it added a nice, full sweetness rather than a bright sweetness.
Along with the apple, a small handful of dried cranberries would be great!
This is a great recipe! I add one chopped fuji apple to add some sweetness without adding sugar! It is sooo good! :)
well how can i describe?simply i like as dessert
The recipe is below the photo. Enjoy!
Uhhh, where exactly is the recipe? All I see is a picture...
You would have thought my guests had never eaten cole slaw from the raves this side dish drew! It was crispy and creamy -- worth taking the time to make from scratch (and a great use for a mandoline).
