Ingredients:🛒
For the Salad:
Cabbage:
4 cups shredded green cabbage (you can add some purple cabbage for color).
Apples: 2 apples (Gala or Granny Smith), sliced thin or cubed.
Cranberries: 1/2 cup dried cranberries.
Carrots: 1 large carrot, shredded.
Green Onions: 2 stalks, thinly sliced.
Optional: 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or slivered almonds for extra crunch.
For the Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise (you can substitute part of it with Greek yogurt for a lighter version).
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar.
1 tablespoon honey or sugar.
A pinch of salt and black pepper.
Juice of half a lemon (to prevent apples from browning and add zest).
Instructions:🧑🍳
Prepare the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Mix the Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, apples, and dried cranberries.
Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Chill: For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cranberries to soften slightly.
Pro Tip:If you are making this ahead of time, toss the apple slices in a little extra lemon juice before adding them to the mix to keep them bright and crisp.
