As a Seriously Simple cook, I develop ways to streamline and reinterpret classic dishes. Sometimes the traditional dishes don’t need much alteration. Case in point, these two classic salads are always welcome at a picnic or barbecue event. Little adjustments such as apple in the slaw and celery seed in the potato salad are familiar tiny twists.
The slaw is threaded with crisp-sweet apple shreds and enhanced with the maple syrup. Citrus and vinegar counteract the sweetness, creating just the right balance.
