Cabbage-and-Caraway Slaw

5.0(165)

Nothing quite captures the spirit of a cookout like a fine coleslaw. This version elevates the traditional slaw with apples, scallions and watercress. Ready in minutes, it’s just as perfect with a bunch of hot dogs on a sweltering summer day as it is paired with your tailgate favorites.
