Cabbage apple slaw

This tangy and slightly spicy slaw is a great way to spark up those winter night’s dinners. Fresh mint adds zip to this mixture while the cranberries and carrot add a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

• 4 cups (1 L) thinly sliced cabbage (about 1/2 a small cabbage)
  
• 1 carrot, shredded
  
• 1/3 cup (75 mL) dried cranberries
  
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) cider vinegar
  
• 2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil
  
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each granulated sugar and celery seed
  
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) hot pepper sauce
  
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) fresh ground pepper
  
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) chopped walnuts or pecans
  
• 1 large apple
  
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh mint

Directions

1. In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, carrot and cranberries; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, sugar, celery seed, hot pepper sauce and pepper. Drizzle over cabbage mixture and add walnuts.
3. Grate apple and add to salad. Sprinkle with mint and toss well to coat.

Tip: If your family doesn’t enjoy a little heat reduce the hot pepper sauce to 1/4 tsp (1 mL) or omit it entirely.
