Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head green cabbage finely shredded
  • 2 crisp apples Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great, julienned
  • 2 carrots julienned
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing the vegetables. Core and finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Core and julienne the apples, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage. Pro tip: toss the apple pieces with a little lemon juice to prevent browning if you're not serving immediately.
  • Add the julienned carrots, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and celery seeds until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the slaw rest for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
