Apple Slaw

Another office birthday challenge!  Our birthday girl Jenn is not a big fan of cakes and desserts so this month's birthday challenge: come up with a fresh & healthy alternative!  I tried this Weight Watchers recipe, Apple Slaw and I have to say it was a BIG hit!! Very refreshing and tasty. This would make a great addition to any summer party as well!

Since I was making this for a crowd I doubled the recipe.  I also used both types of cabbage, Savoy & Napa and had to substitute shredded carrots for the Jicama, since my grocery store has a very limited produce selection.  Jica-what? Jica-who? Candied walnuts & dried cranberries added a sweet and tangy finish to this dish which for my Weight Watchers followers comes in at 4 points = 1 Cup.
