Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup green cabbage shredded
  • 2 cups apples (from 1-2 apples) peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • ½ cup carrot shredded
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave (honey if not vegan)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

    ingredients for kale apple slaw in a glass bowl
  • Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lemon juice, dijon mustard, and salt to a mason jar or bowl.
  • Whisk vigorously until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. If you're using a mason jar, close the lid and shake vigorously.
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the slaw and toss until combined.

Notes

  • For best texture and flavor, eat this slaw the same day that you make it. The apples will start to brown after a day and the veggies will get soft. 
  • Use any kind of crisp apples in this salad! I used Honeycrisp, but you can try granny smith, gala, or pink lady. 
  • Make this recipe vegan by replacing the honey with maple syrup or agave.
