Ingredients

  • 1 ounce bag coleslaw mix (with carrots and red cabbage)
  • 2 apple finely sliced
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice fresh
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cole slaw mix, apples and dried cranberries. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour over the coleslaw mix and fruit and toss to combine.
  4. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Storing: Store leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It will become softer the longer it sits. I do not recommend freezing this slaw recipe.
  • Make it ahead. Make this slaw up to a day ahead of time to serve to a crowd! Just be sure to give it a quick toss before serving at the table. This will bring the dressing back up top and keep things nice and creamy.
  • Try with pears. If you love this cranberry coleslaw with apples, try it with sliced pears!
  • Serve chilled. Either allow the prepared cranberry apple coleslaw to chill or make it with chilled ingredients. It will have better flavor if it’s not at room temperature.
  • Brown apples. If you're worried about your apples turning brown, toss them in a little bit of lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
