Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Purple cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 medium Apple (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the green cabbage and purple cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and then grate it using a box grater or a food processor. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Core and thinly slice the apples into matchstick-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and color, if desired. Add the apples to the mixing bowl.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and poppy seeds until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the poppy seed dressing over the shredded cabbage, carrots, and apples. Toss everything together until the vegetables and fruit are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or a splash of apple cider vinegar for extra tang.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
Serve the Apple Cabbage and Poppy Seed Coleslaw chilled as a refreshing side dish or topping for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos.
