Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups purple cabbage
- 2 medium apple (crisp variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 large carrot
- 2 stalks green onion
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the tough outer leaves of the purple cabbage and slice it thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Measure out 4 cups and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Quarter the apples, remove the cores, and slice them into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Leave the skins on for extra color and texture. Add the apples to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel the carrot and shred it using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrot to the mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl as well.
In a smaller mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until fully coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or use as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches or tacos. Enjoy!
