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

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Salt Your Cabbage Early ⏰Salt the shredded cabbage 15-20 minutes before mixing to draw out excess moisture, creating a crispier, better-textured slaw that holds up longer without becoming soggy.
- Toast Your Nuts for Depth 🔥Lightly toast almonds or pecans in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before chopping to unlock deeper, richer flavors that elevate the entire dish's complexity.
- Dice Apples Last-Minute 🍎Add diced green apples just before serving and toss with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent oxidation and maintain their bright, crisp texture and color.
- Balance Your Dressing Ratio 🥄Whisk your vinegar and mustard together first before adding mayo to prevent a broken emulsion, ensuring a smooth, cohesive dressing that coats evenly.
- Chill Before Serving ❄️Refrigerate the finished coleslaw for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and meld together, creating a more cohesive and refreshing final dish.
