Salad Series: Crunchy Coleslaw

With summer creeping it’s way into our weather…  I thought it would be the perfect time to start my salad series.  Once a week I will be posting salads I make for my family in the hot months, when all you want is something fresh, delicious, and light.  Let’s start with Coleslaw.  I’m on a constant hunt for yummy coleslaw, and to be honest, rarely do I come across a good one.  Usually it doesn’t have enough crunch or it’s drenched in something tasteless.  You know the old saying, “If you want something done, do it yourself.”           SWEET.  CRUNCHY.  TANGY.  MINE.

Ingredients for slaw:

2 – cups red cabbage (thinly sliced)

1 – cup grated carrot

1 – cup grated green apple

1/2 – cup dried cranberries

3/4 – cup blue cheese dressing (I use Bob’s Big Boy)

1/2 – cup coarsely chopped almonds

In a large bowl, mix together cabbage, carrot, green apple, and cranberries.

Then add in the blue cheese dressing, and mix to distribute evenly.

Lastly add chopped almonds, and mix well.

Serve this coleslaw as a side at your next bar-b-que, or just eat it all on it’s own!

Mmmmmm!
