Celery Slaw with Apple and Blue Cheese
Celery Slaw with Apple and Blue Cheese is a crisp and colorful salad blending shredded cabbage, thinly sliced celery ribs, green onions, julienned carrot, and thin apple slices. The creamy, crumbly blue cheese and a dressing of canola oil, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, and seasoning balance fresh, crunchy vegetables and fruit, creating a refreshing side dish with contrasting textures and tangy notes.
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.
