Charity Chomp: A crunchy, sweet zest fest of a 'slaw

Friday 16 June 2023

Crispy, sweet and with a note of lemon, this might just be the perfect summer 'slaw.

This week's Charity Chomp was provided by Caring Cooks, who provide nutritious food to families across the island as well as hot meals and cooking education in schools.

The team said this "crispy coleslaw with the sweet crunch of apple and delicate tang of lemon" will be the perfect side to any summer’s day BBQ. In fact, it would go perfectly with Caring Cook's Mini Burgers.

(Serves four)
