Carrot Apple Slaw
Once the weather heats up it's nice to eat lighter salad dishes like my Carrot Apple Slaw.   This summer salad has a lot of Vitamin A from the carrots and a healthy dose of Vitamin C from the cabbage and the apple.   The apple and raisins also helps with the sweetness and keeps the salad crunchy and refreshing.  This makes a good side dish for barbecue foods.  As with most summer salads I recommend making it ahead of time and letting the flavors blend either for 4 hours or overnight.
