Apple Slaw
Description
Apple Slaw features a combination of shredded green and red cabbage for a crisp, layered base. The inclusion of thinly sliced apple provides a sweet and tart contrast, while chickpeas add some heartiness. Additional crunch comes from diced celery and pepitas, with green onions enhancing the fresh flavor profile. Optional dried cranberries contribute a chewy sweetness that complements the other ingredients nicely.
The tahini dressing brings a creamy, nutty characteristic that ties the salad together without overpowering it, and seasoning with salt and black pepper balances the flavors. A fresh squeeze of lemon juice before serving adds brightness and a slight acidity to cut through the richness of the dressing.
This slaw works well as a side salad, especially alongside grilled dishes or as part of a lunch spread. It can be tossed just before serving to maintain the ingredients’ crunch and freshness.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, consuming within two days to preserve texture and flavor.
