Easy Apple Slaw
Description
This slaw stands out by combining crunchy vegetables and fruit with hearty quinoa and nutty sunflower seeds, adding layers of texture and nutrition. The shredded red cabbage and Fuji apple provide natural sweetness and crispness, while baby spinach adds mild earthiness.
The creamy dressing prepared from tahini, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and water binds the ingredients with a smooth, slightly tangy and nutty coating. Nutritional yeast contributes subtle savory depth without overwhelming the fresh flavors.
Serving this slaw chilled enhances its refreshing quality. It fits well as a side alongside grilled proteins, sandwiches, or as part of a light lunch. Its balanced combination of ingredients provides variety in both texture and flavor.
Any leftovers keep well when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, allowing for convenient make-ahead use.
