Morsels: Crunchy Maple Coleslaw

A dinner, picnic or cookout delight!

By BETTY ANN LOCKHART | PHOTO BY DON LOCKHART |


WHAT YOU NEED

1 bag of coleslaw mix, including carrot shreds`

½ cup low fat sour cream

1 cup mayonnaise

¼ cup pure maple syrup, preferably Dark Robust

¼ cup maple vinegar or cider vinegar

1 apple, with skin, chopped (optional) 

¼ cup golden raisins

¼ cup chopped onion or 2 tablespoons dried onion

 

HOW TO DO IT

Put the cabbage, apple, onion and raisins into a large bowl

Mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, maple syrup, vinegar.  One easy way to do this is to measure into a quart canning jar, cap the jar, and shake vigorously or stir with a small whisk.  

Pour the sauce over the contents of the bowl, and gently stir using a large spoon until all ingredients are combined.  If the mixture appears too dry, incorporate additional mayonnaise, just a little at a time.  (The cabbage will “draw” moisture as it settles.)  Cover and refrigerate until serving.

(Note:  A medium size green cabbage and a large carrot may be shredded in place of the bagged coleslaw mix.)
