Carrot, Apple & Radicchio Slaw

I love the crunch of a good slaw but have never been a fan of the classic creamy coleslaws. Since vinegar-based slaws are more my speed I concocted this Carrot, Apple & Radicchio slaw using the abundance of apples I had this fall. It’s the perfect combo of sweet, savory and slightly bitter and makes an excellent healthy side dish for spicy foods. I also like serving it as a pretty confetti over a dry-rubbed grilled pork chop or as a crunchy topping on a BBQ pulled pork sandwich.

Carrot, Apple & Radicchio Slaw
1 medium apple, cored and julienned
1 small head radicchio, julienned
2 carrots, peeled and julienned (or 1/2 C pre-cut matchstick carrots)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp stone ground mustard
1 tsp brown sugar

Chop radicchio and place in a medium bowl. Peel and julienne carrots or add pre-julienned matchstick carrots to the radicchio. Carefully julienne apple and add to salad. Lightly toss vegetables with a tongs to mix. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard and brown sugar until emulsified. Pour over slaw and toss to mix.

Serve as a salad, on grilled pork chops or with BBQ pulled pork sandwiches.
