Apple Slaw
Description
This Apple Slaw combines shredded cabbage and carrots with thinly sliced apple matchsticks to create a crisp base full of fresh vegetable and fruit textures. The creamy dressing mixes Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and apple cider vinegar to offer a balance of creaminess and sweet-tart notes. Seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper, the dressing coats the slaw ingredients evenly when tossed together.
Additional texture and flavor come from green onions, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and the optional addition of crumbled feta, blue cheese, or shredded sharp cheddar. The combination results in a fresh, hearty slaw with contrasting crisp, chewy, nutty, and creamy elements.
Best served within a few hours of preparation to maintain freshness and crunch, this slaw makes a versatile accompaniment to grilled, roasted, or picnic-style meals.
Use full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt for the ideal dressing thickness, and consider the cheese optional based on personal preference and dietary needs. The recipe yields approximately 10 cups.
