Rutabaga, Apple & Walnut Slaw
I know what you’re thinking. Rutabaga? In a slaw? Trust me on this! It has a hint of cabbage flavor and a firm texture, making it absolutely delicious in a classic slaw. The tart green apple adds a zippy sweetness and the walnuts give added crunch. This is great with meat dishes (anything pork) or piled on sandwiches.
