Big plans for the coming weekend?
Socially distanced gatherings?
Need to bring a salad, but tired of the same old, same old?
Well, we can help!
I came across this recipe for Waldorf Coleslaw in an old (1960’s, I think) advertisement for Helmann’s One Step Coleslaw Dressing.
Apples and cabbage. Hmmm.
Hey, it works with pork chops and sausages, why not salad?
BTW – I made my own dressing, of course with Helmann’s mayonnaise; and this salad is most certainly a keeper.
INGREDIENTS
Dressing:
•1/3 cup mayonnaise
•1 tbsp sugar
•1 tbsp lemon juice
•1 tsp vinegar
•1/4 tsp Seasoned Salt
•1/4 tsp black pepper
•1/4 tsp Aleppo pepper
Salad:
•3 cups shredded cabbage
•1 apple, cored and diced
•1/2 cup diced celery
•1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
•1/4 cup diced red onion
Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a bowl, then add the cabbage, apple, celery, onion, and nuts, if using.
Toss to coat with the dressing, then cover and chill until ready to serve.
Note: walnuts are traditional in Waldorf salad, and the pecans are pretty darned terrific, but feel free to skip the nuts if you like. The salad with still be wicked tasty.
