Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1 large Carrot
- 3 Green onions
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Quarter and core the Granny Smith apples. Slice them thinly and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, finely shred both the green cabbage and red cabbage until you have the required amounts. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and cut into julienne strips or grate it coarsely. Add to the mixing bowl with the cabbages.
Slice the green onions thinly, including some of the green tops, and add them to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro and add it to the mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture. Add the sliced apples and gently toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the slaw a final toss and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
