Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly shred the green and red cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Quarter and core the apples, leaving the skin on if desired for added texture and color. Using a mandoline or knife, thinly slice or julienne the apples and mix them into the bowl.
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and set it aside for later use.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, and apple mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly in the dressing.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the slaw.
Cover and refrigerate the slaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.
