Apple and Cabbage Slaw with Salmon Salad

Apple and Cabbage Slaw with Salmon Salad

A two for one, this recipe is delicious served family style and even better the next day as a sandwich filler. The crispy coleslaw base and creamy salmon salad is an unexpected but satisfying weeknight meal. Keep the salmon in bite-sized chunks instead of mashing it for a different take on canned salmon.
