Apple Cranberry and Almond Coleslaw
Who doesn’t love coleslaw? It’s crunchy, it’s creamy, it’s slightly sweet, and it goes with just about anything, plus it always has me heading back and heaping another generous scoop onto my plate (no shame, it’s cabbage).

Here you get the perfect fall inspired coleslaw with it’s addition of apples, cranberries and almonds and it’s covered in a lighter Greek yogurt dressing (versus a classic coleslaw dressing that has as much as a cup of mayonnaise in it).
Here’s What You Need To Make The Dressing
- Greek Yogurt
- Mayo
- Honey
- Cidre Vinegar
- Salt & Pepper
This Apple Cranberry Almond Coleslaw has a mild flavor to it but if you’d like a more pronounced flavor you can definitely add in a tablespoon or two of dijon mustard to the dressing.
And if you want to skip a step you can use a coleslaw mix in place of the shredded cabbage and carrots. I think it’s time for pulled pork or pulled chicken sandwiches this week for dinner don’t you – and then of course this coleslaw to go with it!
Serving Suggestions – What To Have It With
- Burgers
- Grilled chicken or fish
- Roast meats
- Pulled Pork
- Use as a sandwich filler with cold cuts or cheese
- Have as part of a loaded salad

MKW: Happy Thanksgiving!!! This is year #2 of this making it to the Thanksgiving feast menu. The first year I forgot to pull it out until dinner was almost over but it still got rave reviews. It showed up also for this year’s work potluck. About to make the dressing now, roasted the almonds last night. Will toss it together about 2 hours before dinner. Thank you for a go-to recipe! Cheers!!! November 22, 2018 at 1:01pm

Jaclyn: It is 2 Tablespoons and be sure to use apple cider vinegar. November 17, 2018 at 12:37pm
Corina: Substituted medium firm organic tofu for the yogurt. Used a blender instead of whisk. Found it a bit too sweet so will reduce the amount of honey next time.
