    Delicious and adaptive to your tastes and pantry items available. I used shredded cabbage and carrots, with thinly-sliced, firm Bartlett pears, a scoop of mayo, drop of yellow mustard, splash of red wine vinegar, dash of salt, pepper and heaping teaspoon of cane sugar. After combining I sprinkled with thin sliced green onions, dried cranberries and sliced almonds. This salad is a great compliment to casual dining or a formal event with a bright, fresh tastes crunchy, tangy and sweet. It serves up pretty on a platter.

    Excellent light salad during the holidays. I used an orange vinegar instead of apple cider. I added some arugula for darker color, too because I didn’t have cilantro. Lastly I fanned out the pears on a plate and layered the cole slaw on top.
