Fruity Fall Slaw

October 9, 2017 By Danielle Leave a Comment

fall fruit and vegetable slaw www.redkitchenette.com I have a weakness for coleslaw. Not that mayo-filled, deli-counter type, but the type that is filled with fresh veggies and a sweet, tangy dressing. I make a version all summer long that is a blend of white and purple cabbage, carrots, and a dressing that is light on the mayo, heavy on the honey and apple-cider vinegar. It is delicious.

Come fall I switch up my summer favorite and add delicious cooler weather staples like apples, pomegranates, brussel sprouts and kale. It is sweet, crunchy, tangy, and oh so healthy. Even better, my girls love it! As a side dish it holds up great next to steak, shrimp, pork or chicken. As a main dish it’s just as good. Give it a try, your kiddos might be hesitant at first, but once they see the apples, pomegranates and cheese hopefully they’ll be just as enticed as my littles were the first time they had it.

*I slice the brussels and kale as thin as possible and dress them a few hours in advance if I have time – it softens the leaves and makes it more palatable for little eaters.
