Coleslaw with Apples and Nuts
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
Instructions
Making the dressing
- Step 1
The first step is to make the dressing. In a large bowl combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Mix all the dressing ingredients until they're fully combined.
Chop the vegetables
- Step 3
Next you're going to shred the vegetables into thin strips. A good sharp knife will cut through the cabbage creating thin ribbons.
- Step 4
Cut the apple into small matchstick shaped pieces.
- Step 5
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.
- Step 6
Once your vegetables are all chopped, combine them with the dressing and mix until fully dressed.
- Step 7
You can serve the coleslaw immediately, but ideally you'll give it at least an hour for all the flavors to combine.
- Step 8
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.
