Slaw-riffic!


SuperPurpleApple Slaw! Posted by Picasa

Last week I made pork chops with a spice rub for a dinner party that never happened, and I made some of this cole-slaw to accompany it. I'd never tried to make cole-slaw before and was amazed at how easy it was. I made it even easier by buying pre-shredded cabbage and carrots from Whole Foods. The recipe was also far healthier than I thought it'd be. No mayonnaise, no buckets of oil, just cider vinegar, apple cider and a little dash of olive oil. Plus it looks so pretty! I am now a born-again slaw fan. Does that make me a slawyer or a slawb?

PS The recipe in the March issue of Bon Appetit for Chicken with Parsnips is amazing, don't miss it! Also pretty healthy if you skip adding butter at the end.
