This is my variation on an old family recipe. It's good on a sandwich or on its own. Toss into a green salad, add cooked and diced chicken and you have a wonderful meal. It's delicious!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This simple apple slaw salad is sweet, tangy, and filled with different textures. The sweet apples have a nice crunch. Carrots add another layer of texture and a nice complement to the apples. Sweet and tangy, we liked the poppy seeds in the homemade vinaigrette. Enjoy this side dish all summer long with a piece of grilled chicken or fish or toss it on top of lettuce.
