A friend from church gave me this apple coleslaw recipe that her grandmother handed down to her. The flavors complement each other well, while the fruit creates a refreshing change of pace from the usual coleslaw. —Jan Myers, Atlantic, Iowa

Ingredients

4 cups shredded cabbage
1 large apple, chopped
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Test Kitchen tips

If you're in a rush, use prepared coleslaw mix.

The apple and raisins add a natural sweetness, so there's only a small amount of added sugar.

The slaw was very good , the amounts of everything was balanced. We did add a small amount of grated baby carrots and that seemed to finish off the slaw perfectly. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

This was the Christmas Salad (Ensalada Navidena) my Mom used to make. She added walnuts and pineapples to it also. Wow! Thank you for sharing the recipe. It brought back tons of memories.
