Are you craving crunchy freshness right about now? When meltingly tender slow-cooked stews and soups predominate. They are welcome, but sometimes you want some bite-y food.
And make that simple, quick, healthy, and low cal too, please.
I like this lightly dressed and fat free. But you can easily add oil if you want to increase the calories.
Mix it in a minute, then stash it in the fridge. Some say it is better made ahead, and it does change over time. The dressing magically multiplies, the cranberries swell and soften. Everything turns a pretty pale pink.
We like it all ways, in any stage of the lifecycle. Right away, the next day, and a few days later. It’s all fresh, all crunchy.

Cranberry Cole Slaw
| Yield 6-7 cups | |
| 1 tablespoon honey | 15 ml |
| 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar | 30 ml |
| 14 oz shredded cabbage and carrot blend | 700 gm |
| 1 cup dried cranberries | 160 gm |
| 1 teaspoon celery seeds | 1 gm |
Put honey and cider in the bottom of a large bowl, stir until well mixed.
Add everything else and stir to combine.
Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
*Please don’t skip the celery seeds. They add fragrance, flavor, and a bit more crunch. Personally, I don’t think it is possible to make cole slaw without celery seeds.
How do you like cole slaw?
I love the combination of sweet and tartness with this coleslaw. Im making this soon!
I like the addition of cranberry here! Nice tart and sweet; I often add these to my salads for a perk in flavor
Hi Linda,
This looks lovely…and I really agree with you about the celery seed. I love celery seeds, they add so much flavor to cole slaw, and potato salad, and soups! I look frward to making this nice salad. Thank you for sharing it. Sincerely, Chris
Linda, this looks great! I love cole slaw, but never like all the mayo and some of the non-mayo kinds just don’t cut it. But this looks great! I’ll definitely be testing it out!
