Have you ever had slaw at teatime? Me neither. However, I recently came across a vintage recipe for Fruit Slaw, and it was so delicious that I've been pairing it with a tomato sandwich for lunch! So if your "tea" is more of a "ladies lunch" featuring a salad plate, this is a recipe you may wish to try as well. (It's also featured in this month's column that I wrote for The Coweta Shopper, and I suspect many of you would enjoy it too!)Fruit Slaw
2 cups cabbage, finely grated (press between paper towels to remove liquid)
1 cup seedless green grapes
1 cup canned pineapple, drained and diced
1 cup fresh peaches, diced
Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cream
Using a medium-sized mixing bowl, add first four ingredients and toss well. In a separate bowl, combine dressing ingredients, whisk, then toss lightly over the cabbage and fruits. Store in refrigerator until time to serve.
That's a new one to me - and it looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteNo, I've never heard of "Fruit Slaw" before, but it looks good. When I first saw your photo, before reading your comments, I thought it had peas, carrots, and potatoes instead of the actual green grapes, peaches, and pineapple chunks!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of fruit slaw but it sounds interesting. I wonder if someone wanted to make ambrosia and didn't have coconut?
