Apple Red Pepper Slaw

A go-to side dish any day of the year, this Apple Red Pepper Slaw is a crowd-pleaser, and so easy to make and pair with your Citrus Spiced Dry Rubbed Turkey.

Bringing a balance of sweet and a dash of heat, this slaw also gives that extra fresh crunch many holiday dinner plates miss. Slicing your apples and peppers into matchsticks (julienne) is a breeze with your 7" Santoku and having a side dish that doesn’t require oven space is always a win.

To make the dressing use Cutco’s Mix-Stir. Its coiled design really emulsifies the ingredients for well-blended flavor.

  • 1/4 cup fresh snipped cilantro leaves

Dressing

  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons honey, if needed
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small mild jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon P.S. Flavor!™ Citrus Spice seasoning (alternatively use 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Haas avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
