A refreshing fruit slaw, a nice change from our usual green salad.
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, divided use
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon orange zest
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 sweet apple, such as Gala, cored, thinly sliced and cut into matchsticks
  • 1 tart apple, such as Granny Smith, cored, thinly sliced and cut into matchsticks
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils
Instructions
  1. Cook the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has melted and turned a dark amber color, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of the cider vinegar - carefully, because it will bubble violently - and stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to rest 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the olive oil and remaining tablespoon of cider vinegar. Add the orange zest and stir. Taste before adding optional salt and pepper.
  4. Toss the apples and arils with the vinaigrette in a non-reactive bowl. Cover and allow to rest for 1 hour on the fridge before serving.
