Fancy Cabbage n’ Apple Slaw
Our family likes to prepare a simple meal at home before the New Year Celebrations begin. Normally, we make a little assortment of dishes, some fish, meat, salads, cheeses, and breads, but don’t include a big, main dish. We serve a little buffet style set-up and just mingle and fill small plates. It’s a nice break from the big sit-down meals we’ve been serving all Season.

The apples add the sweetness along with color to this slaw. Onions can also be chopped and added along with cashews to make this slaw even fancier.
