Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups apples, julienned (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup raisins or cranberries for a touch of sweetness
Dressing Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, adjust based on apple sweetness
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by preparing your cabbages and carrots. Use a sharp knife or a food processor to shred them, aiming for a mix of fine and coarse pieces for texture.
  2. Wash your apples, core them, and cut them into thin matchstick-like pieces, leaving the skin on for added color and nutrients.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together the green cabbage, red cabbage, apples, carrots, and raisins or cranberries.
Mixing
  1. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  2. Drizzle the dressing over the slaw mixture and give everything a good toss to ensure even coating.
Chill and Serve
  1. Allow the apple slaw to chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to help all the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Consider adding nuts or sunflower seeds for extra crunch. Apple slaw can be made ahead of time; keep the dressing separate until serving.
