Description
A fresh and zesty apple cranberry coleslaw that brings crunch and flavor to any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 medium apple, cored and diced
- 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Start by washing and preparing your vegetables. Rinse the cabbages, cut off the cores, and finely shred them.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, grated carrot, diced apple, and dried cranberries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until every strand and piece is coated.
- For added texture, you can toss in your toasted nuts at this stage.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- When you’re ready to serve, give the coleslaw another gentle toss.
Notes
For a vegan version, use plant-based mayonnaise. To keep the crunch, store dressed and undressed ingredients separately until ready to serve.
