I love getting my Kraft Foods: Food & Family magazine in the mail. I enjoy checking out new products, reading tips, getting coupons and of course gawking at the wonderful recipes. Unfortunately my kids are in their super picky stage so I can’t try half the recipes in there unless I’m willing to make two meals, but I don’t always let that stop me. This past weekend I tried the Apple-Cranberry Slaw found in the Fall 2010 issue. I’ve fallen in love with the texture of cranberries and apples in my slaw and definitely want to experiment more with that combination!
Ingredients
1/3 cup Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
2 tablespoon maple flavored or pancake syrup
1 pkg. (14oz) coleslaw blend
1 apple, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries (Craisins)
1/4 cup chopped red onions
Directions
Pour dressing and syrup in large bowl and mix together.
Add in apples, craisins and red onions and stir together. (Unfortunately I was out of red onion so I substituted yellow onion.)
Toss with coleslaw blend. A blend with red cabbage would be beautiful but I had to make do with what I had. Enjoy with ribs like we did, which tasted fabulous, or perhaps try with a chicken salad croissant. The possibilities are endless!

That sounds amazing! I think I am going to make Kabobs Sunday for the family and put it to the test! Thanks for sharing
It looked weird to me at first with the fruit in it, but them I remember one of the best coleslaws I ever ate had pineapple in it and it didn’t seem so weird anymore. lol
Besides I do remember my Polish grandma making a cooked cabbage with apples in it too. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh that looks amazingly yummy! I want your ribs recipe too
Don’t smack me but … coleslaw is another dish you can add Cat’s list of hated foods. lol Actually it’s not even the slaw I hate (I loved the stuff made in Jamaica) but it’s the vinegar in it. Would it be totally odd if I made this using ranch dressing instead of the Italian or am I really that weird?
Hmmm… I’m not sure about the Italian dressing, there’s a balsamic vinaigrette that I love that I could use instead. I have some cabbage in the fridge that I wanted to use this week, so I may give this a try. Thanks for the recipe!
those ribs look SO good!
wouldn’t have thought this looked like my style, but looks great!
