APPLE-CABBAGE SLAW



Apple-Cabbage Slaw image

In the South, cole slaw is a must at big get-togethers. To modernize it, I add my favorite Arkansas Black apples and swap more than half of the usual mayo with yogurt, but it's still that classic Southern slaw that everyone loves.

Provided by Hugh Acheson

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 head cabbage, about 2 cups, sliced and lightly packed
2 large apples, Arkansas Blacks or any firm apple
kosher salt
1/2 cup scallions, finely sliced
1/2 cup celery, minced
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • For the salad: Cut the cabbage around the core and julienne. Place in a large bowl and set aside. Core and julienne the apples and add them to the cabbage. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Add the scallion and celery to the cabbage/apple mixture.
  • For the dressing: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, half the lime juice, vinegar, cumin, and pepper in a small bowl. Add the remaining lime juice to the cabbage/apple mixture to prevent the apples from oxidizing. Season the dressing with salt to taste. Pour over the cabbage/apple mixture and set aside. Roughly chop the parsley and mint and add to the slaw. Toss to coat and let rest several minutes for the flavors to macerate. (Slaw can be made and refrigerated up to two hours in advance.)
  • Place slaw in a dish and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type of cabbage used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage, savoy cabbage, or napa cabbage. Each type of cabbage has a slightly different flavor and texture, so experiment to find your favorite.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make the slaw easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of apples. Sweet apples, such as Honeycrisp or Pink Lady, will add a sweet flavor to the slaw, while tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn, will add a tangy flavor. You can also use a combination of sweet and tart apples.
  • Toast the walnuts. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some acidity to the dressing. This could be in the form of vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice. The acidity will help to balance out the sweetness of the apples and mayonnaise.
  • Season the dressing to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other spices that you like to taste.
  • Let the slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the slaw to become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Apple walnut cabbage slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty side dish, give apple walnut cabbage slaw a try!
