Apple Cabbage Slaw with Balsamic Dressing

Here is a delicious slaw made without refined sugar!  

Instead of sugar, I've used a flavoured balsamic vinegar.

It's delicious. Try it and see if you even miss the sugar.

You can cut or shred the ingredients according to your preference - coarse or fine

but try to keep all the ingredients roughly the same size.

• 1/2 a medium head of cabbage
• 1 large apple
• 1/2 a zucchini (halve it and discard the seedy core)
• 1 stalk celery sliced
• 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon pear/cranberry or apple flavoured balsamic vinegar
• dash of salt

1. Cut up cabbage, apple and zucchini according to your preference.  This time I cut the cabbage into a more coarse shred.  Usually, I cut up the cabbage into a finer slaw.
2. Mix mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar and salt, adding balsamic  by the teaspoon if it is not sweet enough.  Add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier slaw.

Variation:

I made this recipe again just recently and used fresh nectarines and blueberries instead of the craisins. I also shredded the apple instead of finely chopping it.
