You guys…do you know what happens when you are so busy that you can’t think straight? You buy two times the amount of some ingredients thinking you hadn’t already gotten them. I was baking my white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies for our Girl Scout bake sale and bought the dried cranberries twice. So, I decided to create this delicious cranberry apple slaw to go with our dinner that night to use some of them.
This cranberry apple slaw is a perfect side dish for just about any meal and would be spectacular for your holiday meal too. Going to visit friends? You can easily throw this together in advance and take it as your contribution to the meal.
