WW Recipe of the Day: Low Calorie Cranberry Walnut Apple Slaw
Here’s a fresh and crispy take on coleslaw perfect for fall. Featured in an old Weight Watchers Weekly, the flavors and textures of this mayo-less slaw are a delicious combination of tangy, sweet and crunchy.
I usually don’t think about coleslaw much after the end of summer barbecue season. But seeing this recipe caused me to reconsider.
Recipe Notes
Brimming with ingredients I love – apples, dried cranberries and walnuts – the recipe virtually shouted at me to make it, which I did recently. It was the perfect accompaniment to grilled turkey burgers, but would also go well with chicken, pork or fish.
I made several changes to the recipe mostly to save time and money…
I substituted olive oil for the walnut oil specified. Canola oil would also work well. (Walnut oil is lovely, but expensive and I don’t use it enough to justify keeping it around.)
And I used pre-shredded green cabbage from Trader Joe’s to save time and scallions instead of shallots, since they were in the fridge.
This is definitely the kind of recipe that works well with additions, subtractions and substitutions.
How Many Calories in this Apple Slaw with Cranberries and Walnuts?
