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.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I made it tonight for dinner. It was so good. I used wine vinegar which worked great.
Yum! Glad you liked it. – Nicole
Is 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?
You can give greek yogurt a try.
I 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!
I substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream, excellent. The perfect combination of crunchy & tart, travels well so it’s perfect for potlucks & picnics.
Sounds delicious and a nice change from a heavy and cabbage-y coleslaw. It will be on my party table this weekend!
Looking forward to seeing more real food recipes. : )
Can’t wait to try Lisa!!
This looks so refreshing! I have a independence day cookout this weekend and I will definitely be bringing this dish. Can’t wait to try it!
