Coleslaw isn't just a summer side dish. Replace traditional green cabbage with a hearty winter green like kale, then pair with cool-weather apples and a sweet-tart dressing. This kale-apple coleslaw recipe from CHOW can be made up to 1 day in advance, and it won't wilt!
Choose Granny Smith apples for a more tart contrast; choose Fuji apples for overall sweeter notes. Combine your favorite varieties for a healthy balance.
