WW POINTS VALUE: 2 pts (3/4 cup per serving)
 
Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. Apples are in season right now and this slaw was delicious. Normally, when you think of slaw you think of vegetables with a little dressing. The apples and lemon juice put a  nice fruity twist on this slaw. Plus, the apples and carrots give the slaw a nice crunch to it. The orginal recipe calls for feta cheese. I didn't have feta so I used blue cheese and it gave the slaw a tangier bite to it. This slaw will quickly fill you up and leave you happy with so little points.
