One of my favorite ways to bring a pop of color and a burst of fresh flavors to my dinner table is with this Apple Cranberry Coleslaw. It's a delightful twist on the traditional coleslaw, with the crisp sweetness of apples and the tartness of cranberries adding a unique touch. This recipe is perfect for those busy weeknights when you want to whip up something quick yet nutritious. It's also a crowd-pleaser at gatherings, making it a go-to for potlucks and family barbecues.
This Apple Cranberry Coleslaw pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes. Try serving it alongside grilled chicken or pork chops for a balanced meal. It also adds a refreshing contrast to richer, heartier dishes like pulled pork sandwiches or burgers. For a lighter option, you can enjoy it as a standalone snack or a side to a simple sandwich.

Variations & Tips
To add a little extra crunch, consider tossing in some sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. You can also switch up the apples; a tart Granny Smith will add a different zing compared to a sweet Honeycrisp. If you’re looking to cut down on calories, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for the dressing. For a bit of spice, try stirring in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
