Slaw maybe not be the most appetizing word.
But you know you love a good picnic coleslaw.
Last week, I made a tangy cold weather version (and wrote about it for Real Time Farms!)
So, now that I leave the house for work, I need meals that are easy to bring for lunches. This means something I can make a lot of and is easy to pack and store in the fridge at work.
Slaw is popular at picnics for this very reason!
What I used:
- 1/2 a head of red cabbage
- 1 apple
- 2-3 tablespoon of champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/3 chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- pinch of sugar
- salt
Choppity chopped up the cabbage and apples and then just mixed all the sauce ingredients together. As usual, this is just a guideline, rather than a hard a fast recipe. Some raisins would be lovely in here…
Tangy and tasty. The cabbage turns the yogurt a bright lovely purple.
I’m not a big fan of creamy coleslaws, instead preferring a more vinegary flavor. This was perfect for me, and packed up very nicely in my lunch pail.

This looks really great. I will try it this week, but with a lemon and olive oil dressing instead.
Lemon sounds delicious!
Just reporting back that it was really delicious, especially the day after preparation. Thanks for the recipe, cabbage and apple are a great combo. Everytime I passed by red cabbage, I used to feel bad because I should eat that color, but never enjoyed it cooked. No more feeling bad. 🙂
Looks and sounds wonderful! I think I’ll try this 🙂
Thanks! Enjoy!
