Coleslaw in Wonton Wrappers

Coleslaw in Wonton Wrappers

Posted by on July 31, 2014

If ever you are looking for a delicious and attractive appetizer … think wonton wrappers. Seriously. They. Are. Awesome. I have made everything from crab rangoon to mini lasagna to broccoli slaw in them, and everything I have tried has tasted fabulous and looked adorable … yay!

Wonton wrappers are readily available and often located in the produce section of your grocery store. They usually come 60 to a pack, but they freeze well, and, as I mentioned, you can make lots of things with them. PLUS, they are so easy to handle and bake up beautifully. 

So this weekend … try some fresh and delicious broccoli slaw in wonton cups with your grilled chops or burgers. And invite the neighbors! They’ll think you’re a bonafide chef!

Coleslaw in Wonton Cups

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Vidalia Onion Dressing 
    add to cart
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 12 oz. broccoli slaw mix
  • ¼ cup green onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 small apple, chopped
  • Sunflower seeds (optional)
  • 24 wonton wrappers

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Stack 2 wonton wrappers together; rotate the top one slightly, forming an 8-pointed star. Press into an ungreased, non-stock muffin tin. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers to form 12 total. Spritz with non-stick spray; bake about 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool. Combine the Vidalia Onion Dressing and mayonnaise. Stir in broccoli slaw, green onion, cranberries and apple. Divide slaw between the 12 wonton cups. Garnish with sunflower seeds and more cranberries. Serve immediately. Makes 6-12 servings.

Tips and Hints

  • Feel free to use your favorite slaw ingredients – Napa or red cabbage, dried cherries instead of cranberries, slivered almonds – the recipe is very flexible, and Vidalia® Onion Dressing makes just about everything taste great!
  • If you are using a mini muffin tin, use just one wonton wrapper per cup and make 24 instead of 12.
  • If you aren’t serving these immediately, you can still make the cups and mix up the slaw ahead of time, just wait until serving time to fill and garnish.
