Rachael Ray is a fount of food knowledge. Besides her books and monthly magazine, her website is full of recipes – all sorts of recipes. Most of them are health conscious, all of them are worth checking out.
Now, I’m not a cole slaw fan. I’m also not a blue cheese dressing fan. But this recipe is absofuckinglutely fantastic. Try it!
Apple and Celery Slaw with Blue Cheese Dressing
4 ounces blue cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 granny smith apples
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1. In a small bowl, using a fork, combine the blue cheese, mayonnaise and 1/4 cup buttermilk until thick and lumpy. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk and the sugar. Refrigerate.
2. Quarter, core and coarsely grate the apples. In a medium bowl, combine the apples with the dressing. Stir in the celery; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
PS: I use Miracle Whip lite instead of Mayonnaise, but thats my preferance. and I didn’t have any buttermilk…makes me wonder how it would truly taste. Probably really thick and super rich..but I loved my version. 🙂
Any food that looks healthy has never been my favorite, but since I do like blue cheese, this may be worth checking out. Rachel Ray is awesome. I’ve been watching her on the food network for some time, and am a member of her website. I always love to hear her say she’s “not a chef” – lol I should be so lucky…
I think Rachel Ray is adorable and love to watch her! This is a very unusual mix of ingredients, but I think I’ll give it a try this weekend. My daughter will be home from school for the weekend and she loves trying new things – she’ll be my guinea pig! Thanks for sharing this one!
OOooh, this sounds yummy. I’m trying this this weekend. Thanks, Sasha!!
