Fruit Slaw

Yogurt Dressing (below)
3 cups finely shredded green cabbage
1 cup finely chopped Granny Smith apple
1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple in juice, well drained and juice reserved
2 tablespoons unsalted sunflower nuts

Prepare Yogurt Dressing (below).

Mix cabbage, apple, cranberries and pineapple. Stir in Yogurt Dressing until mixture is well coated. Sprinkle with sunflower nuts.

Yogurt Dressing:
1/2 cup Yoplait 99% Fat Free plain yogurt
2 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Mix all ingredients.

Note: Give yourself a break! Buy preshredded coleslaw mix and skip the cabbage-shredding step. The shredded carrots in the mix will add extra color and nutrients to the sweet-tangy salad.

Makes 6 servings, about 3/4 cup each
