Description
This Apple Coleslaw blends shredded cabbage, carrots, tart apple cider vinegar, and golden raisins for a crisp and tangy summer side dish. Ready in 15 minutes, it’s perfect for picnics and light meals.
Ingredients
4 cups shredded green cabbage (1 medium coreless head)
1 cup grated Granny Smith apple
1 cup sliced julienne carrots
1/2 cup mayonnaise (vegan or plain, substitute with Greek yogurt if preferred)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (substitute with lemon juice if preferred)
Salt, to taste
Golden raisins (optional)
Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Dice the cabbage into uniform 1/8-inch strips and store in an airtight container.
Grate the apple using a food processor or box grater.
Julienne the carrots using a mandoline knife.
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, grated apple, and carrots.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and honey (if using).
Just before serving, add the dressing to the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Add golden raisins if using.
Chill the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Use a mandoline for consistent vegetable strips.
Add a pinch of honey for a more complex sweetness.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; avoid chilling longer to prevent sogginess.
Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter texture or for dietary preferences.
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best texture and flavor.
