Blue Cheese Slaw

½ cup Ranch Dressing (lite or regular)

1/3 cup pre-crumbled blue cheese

½ to ¾ of a head of FFA cabbage, shredded or chopped

2 small FFA apples, diced or shredded with or without the peel

1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted (optional)

¼ cup dried cranberries or cherries, chopped (optional)

Ground black pepper

To toast nuts: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place nuts on baking sheet with a lip. Bake for 5-10 minutes. Watch for them to turn slightly brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

Mash the blue cheese into the ranch dressing a bit and mix the two together in a large mixing bowl. Shred apples using the large side of a grater, or dice up. Add cabbage and apples. Toss to coat cabbage. Add pepper to your taste. Chill for up to 4 hours before serving.

Add the dried fruit and nuts just before serving. Toss.
