Easy Apple Slaw is a refreshing and flavorful salad that combines the crispness of apples with the crunch of cabbage, creating a delightful dish. To prepare this simple yet delicious recipe, start by thinly slicing a mix of green and red apples. The contrasting colors not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute different flavor profiles.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with shredded cabbage for a perfect balance of sweetness and earthiness. To add a hint of tanginess, toss in some finely chopped red onions. For a burst of color and added nutrients, incorporate grated carrots into the mix. This diverse combination of ingredients creates a vibrant and nutritious base for your slaw.
To elevate the flavor profile, consider including a handful of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley. The herbs introduce a herbal essence, complementing the sweetness of the apples. For a nutty and crunchy texture, sprinkle a generous amount of toasted walnuts or pecans over the slaw.
For the dressing, keep it light and zesty. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper works wonders. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined and drizzle the dressing over the slaw, ensuring an even coating.
Allow the flavors to meld by refrigerating the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the apples to absorb the dressing, intensifying the overall taste. Serve the Easy Apple Slaw as a side dish at picnics, barbecues, or alongside grilled chicken or fish for a wholesome and satisfying meal. With its crisp texture, vibrant colors, and harmonious flavors, this slaw is a surefire crowd-pleaser that will leave everyone wanting more.

I couldn't rate it 5 stars only because I had to adjust to my situation. I used bagged coleslaw cabbage, roughly 2-3 cups. I shredded a carrot out of my garden, I used 1 honey crisp apple. For the dressing, I used a spoon full of plant based mayo and a scoop full of cains mayo. Trying to cut down on fats. I added the brown sugar (less than the recipe called for), lemon juice from 1 lemon, and then a couple table spoons of seasoned rice wine vinegar. It still needed a little more, so added a dollop of dijon mustard, garlic and onion powder, celery seed and dried chives. Mixed all together, and let it seen 1/2 hr. Very tasty!
Addictively good! I backed off the sweetness some, and prefer to use honey with this instead of sugar and find that it adds another dimension of flavor on an already great recipe. I will note though, it’s one of those dishes that really should be eaten fresh. After the first day, the flavors start mellowing and absorbing into the veggies, loosing that tangy sweet magic that makes you want to eat a whole bowl of it.
Really great! I didn’t have green onion but did not miss it. I might add golden raisins next time. Thumbs up!
I made this exactly as directed and it was fabulous and fresh. I combined it with the prosciutto, sage wrapped pork loins… except my love asked to substitute basil for sage. All great and yummy
This is so sweet, it could be a recipe for a children's party. I used only 1/3 of the sugar recommended here, and that did it for me. Particularly if you're serving with pulled pork or other meat that is already accompanied by a - let's face it, also sweet - BBQ sauce, you need far less sugar than given here.
Love this recipe. 👍
I made this for Easter today. I wanted to get ahead so shredded cabbage (first salting and draining), shredded the carrot and chopped peppers and mixed it together the day before. I made the dressing but kept it separate. A couple hours before serving I sliced the apples and put in veggie mix and added the dressing. I then put it in the refrigerator til time to eat. All of the adults thought it was delicious. There was a-bit too much liquid which I needed to drain - perhaps from settling in the fridge. Enjoyed with tacos!
Excellent as written. Next batch I made added pecans, celery (to add to the crunch factor & to use up the celery on hand. Plus a tablespoon of dried mustard pow?der to counter the sweetness level. This just just my version. The original recipe is excellent. Next time maybe raisins?
Loved the bright flavors in this.The sweet, sour… Perfect for early Spring!!!
