A refreshing and crunchy cabbage and apple slaw that combines shredded green and red cabbage with julienned apple, carrots, and green onions, dressed in a tangy and slightly sweet mayonnaise-based dressing. Perfect as a side dish for barbecues, sandwiches, or as a light snack.

Ingredients

Slaw

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 large apple (such as Granny Smith), cored and julienned
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Vegetables and Fruit: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, julienned apple, shredded carrots, sliced green onions, and raisins or dried cranberries if using.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss Slaw with Dressing: Pour the dressing over the cabbage and apple mixture, then toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the ingredients with the dressing.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Place the slaw in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become crisp and refreshing.

Notes

  • Using tart apples like Granny Smith adds a nice tangy contrast.
  • The slaw can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Feel free to omit the raisins or cranberries if you prefer a less sweet slaw.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste for optimal seasoning.
