Apple-Nut Slaw

I came up with this combo when I was craving something different from regular cole slaw. This is a combo of Waldorf Salad and Cole Slaw, and it's super yummy!

1 pkg. (1 lb.) three color deli cole slaw

1 small green apple, peeled and coarsely shredded

1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries or cherries

2 tbsp. chopped walnuts

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp. honey

2 tbsp. cider vinegar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/8 tsp. celery salt

1. Toss cole slaw, apples, cranberries and walnuts together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl whisk together remaining ingredients; toss with cole slaw mix to combine well. Chill. Yield: 8 servings.
