Coleslaw Salad #1

Classic American salad traditionally made with cabbage and carrots tossed in a creamy dressing. The add-ins can vary, and in my version I've included tart apples, sweet dried cranberries, and sliced almonds for extra flavor and texture 

Ingredients

• 1/2 head of cabbage

• 1 medium carrot

• 2 tart apples

• a handful of dried cranberries

• 1/4 cup sliced almonds

• fresh herbs of your choice (optional)

For the Dressing

• 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1 tsp mustard

Steps

1. Shred the cabbage

2. Cut the carrot into thin matchsticks

3. Dice the apples into small cubes

Dressing

4. Combine all dressing ingredients and whisk lightly until smooth

5. Toss the salad with the dressing

6. Add the dried cranberries and sliced almonds

7. Add fresh herbs if desired

The sliced almonds can be lightly toasted in a dry skillet for a richer flavor and aroma
