Cabbage and Apple Slaw

Cabbage and Apple Slaw

Apples are in season and cabbage is abundant at my local market. It seemed just natural to pair them up in a salad. I love cole slaw. I think I could eat it everyday. I make slaw with a creamy, mayo based dressing sometimes. Other times, I prefer a vinegar type dressing. For this slaw I went really simple. Just vinegar, a little honey and celery seeds, along with salt and pepper. Then I added thin strips of crisp, fresh apples to the shredded cabbage. They added a wonderful crunch and sweetness to the dish.  So simple and so good. Here is the recipe.

Cabbage and Apple Slaw

6-8 c. shredded cabbage

2 large apples, cored, unpeeled, cut into thin strips

1/2 c. cider vinegar

2 T. honey

1 t. celery seed

salt and pepper to taste

Combine cabbage and apples in a medium bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl and stir until well mixed. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly. Salad can be eaten right away or chilled for a couple of hours.
