One of the wonderful advantages of running a foodie website is getting to try lots of wonderful food–sometimes healthy, sometimes naughty, always yummy.

Sometimes a recipe even takes me by surprise.

This sweet apple carrot coleslaw recipe is just such a recipe: the right balance of sweet and tangy crunch.

Tweaking the ingredients to get this recipe was quite a bit of fun. Adding sour cream to a dish has quickly become one of my favorite food swaps.

It has such a wonderful creamy tang. We served it beside a meatloaf for one meal, and next to dumplings for another. So versatile and good

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 oz package of shredded coleslaw mix
  • 1 T apple cider vinegar
  • 1 large apple can be Granny Smith, HoneyCrisp, or your favorite kind
  • 2 carrots
  • ¼ c mayonnaise
  • ¼ c sour cream
  • 2 T sugar
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Open coleslaw mix –  Rinse and squeeze dry with paper towels. Note: Some coleslaw mixes are pre-rinsed. If that is the mix that you have, just make sure that it is dried thoroughly before proceeding or your finished product will be too runny and unappetizing.
  • Prepare the carrots: Wash and dry the carrots. Peel the carrots (into a compost bin if you have it). Then grate the carrots into a large bowl. We recommend this five-star OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler.
  • Prepare the apple:Wash, dry, then peel the apple. Grate the apple into the bowl with the grated carrots.
  • Toss to coat:Add the vinegar to the bowl with the carrots and apple and toss with tongs to fully coat the mixture.
  • Prepare the sauce:In a separate bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream and sugar then mix until the sugar has fully dissolved.
  • Add the cabbage mix:Add the premade cabbage mix, apple and carrots to the bowl with the sauce. Stir to coat evenly.Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. This is best served chilled, but if you can’t wait, you can’t wait!
