Easy Apple Cabbage Slaw
Indulge in this delightful slaw with its sweet-and-tangy flavors! It serves as the ideal accompaniment to a pulled pork sandwich or as a refreshing side dish during the vibrant summer season. For an extended shelf life, it is recommended to salt the cabbage, allowing it to wilt for an hour. Afterward, rinsing and drying the chopped cabbage before incorporating it into the slaw is crucial. This process effectively eliminates excess moisture from the cabbage, ensuring its crispness is maintained for a more extended period.
Ingredients
- 1 small head cabbage, cored and finely chopped
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchstick-size pieces
- 5 green onions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Toss cabbage, apple, and onions together in a large bowl.
- Whisk vinegar, sugar, olive oil, vegetable oil, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes together in a saucepan over medium heat; bring dressing to a simmer. Pour hot dressing over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend and slaw is cold, at least 1 hour.
