Mustard Greens and Apple Slaw
This Mustard Greens and Apple Slaw is a refreshing and flavorful salad that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The mustard greens provide a peppery bite, while the apple and red onion add sweetness and crunch. The walnuts and cranberries add a touch of sweetness and nuttiness, and the olive oil and apple cider vinegar dressing ties it all together.
This recipe is a variation on a classic coleslaw recipe. I first tried it at a potluck a few years ago, and I've been making it ever since. I love the combination of flavors and textures, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
