Apple Cider Slaw – Weight Watchers Friendly

June is filled with graduations, weddings, and picnics and I needed something to take to an event recently.  I wanted it to be light and not have a flavor that would overwhelm the other dishes at the event.  Being a lifetime Weight Watcher, I like to also have something that is low in calorie to off set all the high fat dishes that will be tempting me.

This apple cider slaw recipe fits the bill perfectly.  It comes in at only 60 calories for 1/2 cup {or 2 points plus}.  It has a great crunch to it and the dressing is light.  Very refreshing served next to your favorite grilled foods!  It is best if chilled for about 2 hours before serving.
