Recipe: Apple slaw (Vegetarian)

Apple slaw was the first thing that came to mind when I was choosing what to make to compliment the sticky pork ribs. In fact, slaw (also known as coleslaw) goes well with almost all types of meat (esp from the BBQ or grill) and fried chicken.

Slaw is made primarily from shredded raw cabbage and dressed in mayonnaise and cider vinegar. I chose to use both white and red cabbage for a color contrast as well as Granny Smith apples, walnuts, raisins and cranberries. Doesn't it look festive?

Appealing, tart and appetizing, this definitely went well with the pork ribs. You can use low-fat mayonnaise for a healthier version.
