Apple & Avocado Slaw

Apple & Avocado Slaw

Ever since I came across a recipe on a fellow Google Plusser's (+Shinae Choi Robinson) blog a couple of months ago I haven't stopped waxing lyrical about it. I even made it for Christmas dinner. I have made it several times since then and along the line, I have also made some variations here and there.Which brings me to today's recipe. You see I figured incorporating avocado into the original recipe would make an interesting texture combination. Verdict = It works!!!

Before this, it never would have crossed my mind to use apples this way. Easy and quick to scrabble together; it seemed fitting with my theme of taking things easy this month.
