With the 4th of July just around the corner, I’ve got a brand new recipe for you that would be the perfect addition to your holiday barbecue! Coleslaw is obviously a staple this time of year, but how about switching it up with a Green Apple Cucumber version instead of typical cabbage? Even with the little bit of vinegar in this one, my kids were all over this dish. So it’ll definitely be a crowd pleaser.
And if you need more ideas for Independence Day, be sure to check out my recipe roundup post from last year.
Green Apple Cucumber Slaw
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber, halved and cut into thin slices
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cut into thin slices
- 2 green onions, white and green parts
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Add the cucumber, apple, and green onion to a large bowl. (For the apple I used an apple corer/slicer and then sliced each piece two more times.)
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour over top of the apple mixture and toss together until well combined.
-
Serve or store in the refrigerator for up to two days.

July 5, 2017 at 12:39 pmI made this for a 4th picnic last weekend, after I came across it looking for something to make that wasn’t a pasta/potato salad. Even though these ingredients don’t typically go together, they are all things I like so I gave it a try. Well it was a HUGE hit! I shared the recipe with at least 10 people that day, and was even asked to make it for another picnic! When I was at the store getting the ingredients the second time, the check out lady asked what I was making, and when I told her, I had to give her the recipe too lol! Home run!

August 1, 2017 at 2:38 pmIs there something you would suggest to substitute for sour cream? My husband does not like it, and can taste it anytime I try to sneak it into a recipe?
