I have a thing for slaw. It maybe has something to do with my love for salads. Slaw is simply a great way to toss together lots of seasonal veggies and have the whole taste even better than the parts. It keeps well in the fridge. It’s already dressed. Slaws are big hits at potlucks. This one is on the sweet side (thank you, apples!) and it pairs so well with parsnip soup or pork or chicken. And of all the recipes I brought to my Amazing Apples class at the Roanoke Co+op, this was the sleeper hit. Time to pull out that food processor and give this a whirl!
Makes 6 side servings.
