Creamy Blueberry Apple Slaw

This salad has cabbage, apples, blueberries, other dried fruits and nuts, and a creamy dressing. The dressing here is creamy but lighter also. Traditionally, mayonnaise dressing is used in coleslaws or salad dressings to get a rich, creamy texture.

However, thick Greek yogurt and a little mayo are always better. To make it even healthier, eliminate mayonnaise completely. The consistency will also be creamy here, and it will be much healthier than traditional ones. For vegans, use vegan yogurt.

Ingredients To Make Blueberry Apple Slaw

Simple ingredients are readily available in the pantry to make perfect apple slaw. If you miss any item, you can easily get it in any local supermarket. I have added some veggies, fruits, and nuts to the slaw.

Veggies: Green and red cabbage are the main ingredients. You can add other variations of cabbage, like Nappa cabbage and Chinese cabbage. Apart from cabbage, add shredded carrots and green onions. You may also love to add some sliced bell peppers.

Fruits: I have added red apples and red grapes. Granny Smith apples would also be great for this slaw. Use a mixed variety of apples.

Blueberry: I have added dried blueberries here. If you get fresh ones, add them to your slaw. Fresh blueberries pair best with this dish.

Nuts: I have added slivered almonds to this salad. Other variations include walnuts, pine nuts, pecans, and pistachios. Nuts add crunch to the slaw.

Dressing: The dish is perfect with a mixture of Greek yogurt and mayo (half and half) dressing, a little salt, and spices.
