Crisp, colorful, and bursting with fresh flavor, this Cabbage Apple and Almond Slaw is the ultimate side dish for any season. Featuring a vibrant mix of shredded green and red cabbage, sweet julienned apples, crunchy toasted almonds, and tender carrots, this slaw is as visually appealing as it is delicious. Tossed in a tangy apple cider vinaigrette infused with honey and Dijon mustard, it balances sweet, nutty, and zippy flavors in every bite. Ready in just 15 minutes and perfect for gatherings or meal prep, this healthy, gluten-free salad offers a delightful crunch and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or even a festive holiday spread.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, sliced apples, shredded carrots, and chopped parsley.
If your almonds are not toasted, place them in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Allow them to cool and then add to the bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste the slaw and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the slaw chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish. Enjoy!
