This Kentucky Coleslaw Recipe Has Fruit In It
Have you ever had coleslaw with fruit in it? The UK Cooperative Extension Office has a recipe in its 2024 Food & Nutrition Recipe Calendar that gives coleslaw a fruity remix. The recipe was adapted from an idea from the Iowa State University Extension. It may sound a little different, but it's refreshing, delicious and relatively inexpensive to make. Here's how you do it.
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or any type of vinegar)
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons crushed pineapple canned in 100% juice, including juice
2 cups shredded or finely chopped cabbage
1/2 cup chopped apples (or fruit of choice: orange, mandarin oranges, pear)
1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
DIRECTIONS
