Refreshing and crisp Apple Slaw featuring julienned Granny Smith apples, cabbage, carrots, and green onions tossed in a tangy honey-Dijon mayo dressing. A quick and easy 15-minute side dish perfect for summer meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Salad

  • 1 small cabbage, thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
  • 3 Granny Smith apples, julienned (about 2 cups)
  • 2 carrots, julienned (about 2 cups)
  • 3 green onions, sliced (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful dressing.
  2. Prep the vegetables and apples: Shred or thinly slice the cabbage into 2-inch by 1/4-inch strips. Shred or slice the carrots into 2-inch by 1/8-inch strips. Peel, core, and julienne the apples into similar sized strips, then keep them submerged in water with a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to prevent browning. Thinly slice green onions diagonally into 1/8-inch slices.
  3. Combine the slaw: Drain the apples from the water and mix them with the cabbage, carrots, and green onions in a large bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly. Adjust seasoning by adding more salt if desired.
  4. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the apple slaw until ready to serve. Before serving, give it a good mix and taste to add additional salt if needed. Serve cold as a crunchy side dish.

Notes

  • Soaking the julienned apples in water with lemon juice or vinegar helps prevent them from browning and keeps the slaw looking fresh.
  • If you prefer a sweeter slaw, add a bit more honey to the dressing.
  • This slaw can be prepared a few hours ahead; just toss again before serving.
  • Adjust the thickness of the dressing by adding a splash more vinegar or mayonnaise according to preference.
  • For a tangier slaw, increase the Dijon mustard slightly.
