Coleslaw with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

My family likes cabbage and coleslaws, but the usual creamy coleslaw can be pretty heavy tasting, is high in fat, and can be a cause for concern during hot weather. This coleslaw with vinaigrette has a nice light taste but lots of flavor, and holds up well in the hottest weather.





Coleslaw with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped, or 1 1/2 teaspoons cilantro herb paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
½ medium-sized head of cabbage, shredded or 1 (10-ounce) bag shredded cabbage
1 cup carrots, sliced into matchsticks

Whisk together all ingredients except the cabbage and carrots in a small bowl.

Place cabbage and carrots in a medium bowl. Pour vinaigrette over cabbage and carrot and toss well. Serve or chill until ready to serve. Stir before serving.

We love this coleslaw during the summer and especially on camping trips.
