Celery Slaw with Apple and Blue Cheese
Description
This celery slaw combines a coleslaw mix of shredded cabbage with sliced celery, thinly cut green onions, carrot strips, and thin apple slices for a mixture of fresh, crunchy textures and a hint of sweetness. Crumbled blue cheese adds creamy richness and a bold flavor contrast.
The dressing consists of canola oil, white vinegar, sugar, celery seed, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper, which is tossed thoroughly with the slaw ingredients. The salad benefits from about 30 minutes of resting to allow the flavors to meld without losing the texture.
The slaw can be served immediately as a crunchy side salad or chilled overnight and stored refrigerated for up to 3 to 4 days, maintaining its freshness and flavor as a versatile accompaniment to many meals.
Ingredients
- 4 cups coleslaw mix about 7 ounces, or shredded cabbage
- 4 celery very thinly sliced, ribs
- 4 green onions
- 1 carrot , thinly julienned or shredded
- 1 apple cored and thinly sliced, small size
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbled
- ½ cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the coleslaw mix, celery, green onion, carrot, apple, and blue cheese. In a small bowl, mix the canola oil, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss to coat. Taste for seasoning, and sprinkle with more blue cheese and green onion for a pretty topping. The slaw can be served immediately but tastes best with about 30 minutes resting time for the flavors to come together. The salad can be refrigerated for 3-4 days.
