Fall Slaw

Coleslaw seems like a summer food to me. But why? There's really no reason.

Crunchy cabbage lightly coated in tangy dressing should be enjoyed year round.

This is a basic, but delicious coleslaw for fall. The purple cabbage has that rich color that seems autumnal to me. Apple cider adds a hint of sweetness with a nod to other fall flavors. And dijon mustard? So good!

You don't have to keep this salad simple, though. Feel free to turn it into a hearty main-dish salad by adding sunflower seeds, dried fruit, rich avocado and sweet peppers (or anything else that strikes your fancy)!

You can serve this slaw alongside your favorite fall entree or put some on a sandwich to add some crunch (hummus would be nice).
