This is a very nice variation of the traditional coleslaw. By using apples and raisins, it has a sweet flavor. You can also use pineapple in stead of the apples, and various fruit juices to thin and sweeten the dressing.
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients:
- 1/2 small head cabbage, Shaved very finely
- 3 apples, peeled, cored and cit in bite sized pieces
- 1/4 cup raisins
- lemon juice
- for the dressing
- 1/4 cup soyanaise or soy yogurt
- 1 tbs. rice vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tbs. sweetener as agave or maple syrup or berry syrup
- salt
Directions:
- I’m rather picky about coleslaw, especially the cabbage part. It needs to be shredded very very finely in long thin pieces and definitely not grated. It’s rather a lot of work, by hand; but well worth the effort. I use a large bread knife, first cut the cabbage in half, and then shave very thin slices until you have enough (for 4 people that’s about 1/2 of a small head of cabbage.
- Once the cabbage is shredded, cut the apple in quarters, remove the seeds and peel the outside.
- Splash a bit of lemon juice on the apples to keep them from turning brown.
- Place the raisins in a bit of water to soften them while you make the dressing.
- Combine the soyanasie or yogurt with the rice vinegar and sweetener and add the cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
- To assemble, add the apples to the cabbage and mix well to distribute the apples evenly.
- Drain the water from the raisins and add to the cabbage mixture.
- Pour the dressing over and mix well.

Hey there
You know, I like your blog very much, but your feed has recently developed this habit of renewing itself - not sure why and I was wondering if it was something you had changed? This means that every single time my newsreader refreshes it tells me I have a new recipe (or sometimes 3), so I go and have a look, only to see the same recipe for the 100th time (I’m only very slightly exaggerating). As I like your blog, I thought I’d let you know rather than just deleting it entirely from my newsreader, as I generally do when this happens. I suspect if I find this annoying, I’m not the only one. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them reacted by removing it too.
Just thought I’d mention it - if you want to talk about it any more please feel free to email me!
ciao

Hi Sarah,
end of August I switched to Feedburner (see this post) for the feeds, which should improve the feed quality. Did you experience the chance from that moment on?

It probably was around then it started happening. Interestingly, it seems to have just stopped happening?

I think using the apples with the cabbage is a great idea…I may try this Thanks.
