Witch's Slaw Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded purple cabbage plus one leaf for hats
3 cups shredded cabbage
1 red apple, cored and shredded; shred this last and mix quickly with the vinegar so it does not turn brown (we left the peel on for nutrients and color)
1 cup light vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon vinegar
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Chill until ready to serve. For fun with older kids, you can garnish each serving with a witch’s hat or plastic spider.
How to Make A Witch's Hat:
Microwave a piece of cabbage for 20-30 seconds so it becomes pliable.
Cut it into strips.
Roll each strip into the shape of a hat (see photos for an illustrated step-by-step).
