Coleslaw with Apples and Nuts

Nora Bourdeau

Coleslaw with apples and nuts is a delicious side for any cookout or barbecue. Crisp, bright and tangy, this slaw is also amazing on a pulled pork sandwich or in a fish taco. I really love good coleslaw. It pairs amazingly with rich foods and is quite versatile as a leftover. The vinegar, lime juice and Dijon mustard create a delicious and bright complement to the mayonnaise. The chopped apples and nuts create multiple layers of texture and crunch.

Ingredients

¾ Cup mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 Cup Napa cabbage shredded
2 Cup Red cabbage shredded
6 carrots grated
1 green apple chopped
½ Cup chopped nuts Almonds or Pecans

Instructions

Making the dressing:

The first step is to make the dressing.
In a large bowl combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper.
¾ Cup mayonnaise, ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard, 4 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Mix all the dressing ingredients until they’re fully combined.

Chop the vegetables:

Next you’re going to shred the vegetables into thin strips.
A good sharp knife will cut through the cabbage creating thin ribbons.
2 Cup Napa cabbage shredded, 2 Cup Red cabbage shredded
Cut the apple into small matchstick shaped pieces.
1 green apple chopped
The carrots can be difficult to cut into thin matchstick pieces, so once I’ve peeled the exterior of the carrot, I use the vegetable peeler to create ribbons to add to the coleslaw.
6 carrots grated
Once your vegetables are all chopped, combine them with the dressing and mix until fully dressed.
When you’re ready to serve chop up your choice of nut and sprinkle over the coleslaw. My favorite nuts to use are pecans or almonds.
½ Cup chopped nuts

Notes

You can serve the coleslaw immediately, but ideally you’ll give it at least an hour for all the flavors to combine.

If you have a food processor you could use the shredding attachment to make this process really efficient.
