Apple and Raisin Coleslaw

I pulled this recipe from Cooking Light last year and stashed it in my (enormous) binder of clippings. This week I made stovetop macaroni and cheese to serve with chicken and needed a good side dish. This fit the bill perfectly.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup light sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar*
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups unpeeled chopped Rome apple (about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 1 (16-ounce) package cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw

Preparation:

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add chopped apple, 1 cup raisins, and coleslaw; toss to combine.

~Serves 8 (1 cup each)~

*
I had no idea where to find white balsamic vinegar so I used regular instead. Tastes delicious but it gives the entire salad a dark tint that doesn't look as appetizing as it might.
