This recipe is a perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, and sweet, making it an ideal side dish for any occasion. The toasted pecans add a delightful crunch and a boost of healthy fats, while the dried cranberries provide a sweet and tangy flavor.

This slaw is also packed with nutritious ingredients like cabbage, celery, and green onions, which are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Plus, the apple cider vinegar adds a touch of probiotics to support gut health.

So why not give this Cranberry Coleslaw with Toasted Pecans a try? It’s the perfect recipe to add some crunch, flavor, and nutrition to your meals.

Cabbage was on sale at my local grocer last week, so I’ve been including it in a lot of different meals. It has been fun experimenting with new recipes and ideas using cabbage.

My weekly meal planning is completely decided by whatever I find ON SALE. This way, we’re always consuming an abundance of fresh produce while keeping our family budget in check.

Cabbage is a very underrated vegetable.

It’s very LOW in calories, HIGH in nutrients and fiber. Definitely, a vegetable that we could all be eating more of!

In terms of price per cup, a report by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) has shown cabbage to be the second most economical vegetable in terms of price per edible cup. Yes! Grab some fresh cabbage next time you’re out & about!

Many people don’t know what a powerhouse of a food cabbage really is. I’ve been eating it on the regular for the past 15 years…. added to soups, roasted, and shredded into recipes like this 😍 I’m pretty obsessed – so here’s your gentle nudge to eat more cabbage.

Homemade Mayonnaise:

❤️Many health food stores and Amazon carry apple juice-sweetened dried cranberries. Most commercial dried cranberries contain a lot of added refined sugar so choose wisely and/or be aware of what you really want to use here. You could also dry your own cranberries using fresh organic cranberries. There are many recipes online for drying cranberries in your oven for food dehydrator.
