What’s Cookin’ Wednesday: Zesty Apple Vegetable Slaw

Slaw is a great salad/side dish any time of the year, but there’s just something about a nice cold slaw on a hot day that’s irresistible.  Cole slaw is always yummy, of course, but Zesty Apple Vegetable Slaw is just different enough to be in a category by itself.

Your family will like Zesty Vegetable Slaw because it’s oh-so-yummy, and YOU will like it for that same reason and also because this slaw is extremely nutritious.

EXTREMELY nutritious, in fact.

When all of these ingredients are fresh and in season, this slaw is even better.  It’s still good off-season, with store-bought produce, though.

Ingredients:

3 cups finely shredded cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup shredded onion

1/2 cup shredded green pepper

1/2 cup shredded red pepper

1/2 cup shredded celery

1/2 cup shredded apple (peeled)

3/4 cup Apple Habanero pepper jelly

What to do:

Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss until thoroughly mixed.  Chill before serving.

I like to make this the day before so the flavors can get acquainted.

My family LOVES this slaw.  Tim likes to use it as a dip, even.
