Apple Cabbage Slaw with Balsamic Dressing


Here is a delicious slaw made without refined sugar!  
Instead of sugar, I've used a flavoured balsamic vinegar.
It's delicious. Try it and see if you even miss the sugar.
You can cut or shred the ingredients according to your preference - coarse or fine
but try to keep all the ingredients roughly the same size.

  • 1/2 a medium head of cabbage
  • 1 large apple
  • 1/2 a zucchini (halve it and discard the seedy core)
  • 1 stalk celery sliced
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon pear/cranberry or apple flavoured balsamic vinegar
  • dash of salt
  1. Cut up cabbage, apple and zucchini according to your preference.  This time I cut the cabbage into a more coarse shred.  Usually, I cut up the cabbage into a finer slaw.
  2. Mix mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar and salt, adding balsamic  by the teaspoon if it is not sweet enough.  Add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier slaw.
Variation:
I made this recipe again just recently and used fresh nectarines and blueberries instead of the craisins. I also shredded the apple instead of finely chopping it.
