Savoy Slaw with Raspberry Dressing

I found this delicious coleslaw recipe in a spice catalog and couldn't wait to give it a try. I don't use Savoy cabbage so I don't know how it would taste, but regular cabbage in this recipe is delicious. Blessings...

Recipe: 

2 cups finely shredded savoy cabbage or regular cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 crisp red apple, chopped (I used a Gala apple)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (I used cashews)

Dressing:

1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (I used Greek vanilla yogurt)
1-1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1-1/2 tsp. red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. raspberry jam
1/2 tsp. honey
1/4 tsp. French Tarragon, crushed
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt or to taste

1. Several hours before serving, prepare the dressing by combining all of the dressing ingredients and whisking until smooth. Refrigerate.
2. One hour before serving, combine the cabbage, carrots, apple and cranberries. Stir in dressing to combine. Cover and refrigerate.
3. Just before serving, add the nuts and stir to combine.

Yield: 5 servings

Note: This recipe can easily be doubled to serve ten people.
