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.

DAZZLING WINTER SLAW - RED CABBAGE, APPLE AND PECAN SALAD



Dazzling Winter Slaw - Red Cabbage, Apple and Pecan Salad image

A dazzling coleslaw salad for your winter festive table. Red cabbage is mixed with apples, carrots, pecans and onions which is then dressed with a tangy mustard and nut vinaigrette - fabulous! Plus, the colours as well as the taste, is amazing! This goes so well with cold cuts, pies, tarts, quiches, buffets as well as being a wonderful supper or light lunch accompaniment. I do all the shredding and grating in my food processor, it is so easy and cuts down on time. You can of course grate and shred by hand - it will just take a little longer! I sometimes add semi-dried cranberries and grated beetroot - these are listed as optional exras. The pie shown in the photograph, is my Recipe #268117, which I often serve with this winter slaw salad - they make a wonderful combination. (This recipe was posted to our personal preferences - with a light dressing and not a creamy or heavy dressing; if you like your salads with more dressing - please adjust the dressing quantities up!)

SAGE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH WARM APPLE SLAW



Sage Rubbed Pork Chops with Warm Apple Slaw image

NOTE: To make this quicker and easier you can use one 16-ounce bag of pre-shredded carrots and cabbage, called "Slaw Mix" instead of starting with whole cabbage and carrots. This dish can also be a one-pot-meal if you need to swap around. Just serve with some nice brown bread or whole-grain or whole-wheat bread.

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
1 large clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon salt, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
4 (3/4-inch) bone-in pork loin chops (about 8 ounces each)
1 large onion
1 large Granny Smith apple, cut in 1/2, cored
1/2 head green cabbage, cored
3 large carrots
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine the 3 teaspoons of the fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let the chops sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion, apple and cabbage and julienne the carrots (very thin sticks).
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan until hot but not smoking. Add the chops and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove.
  • Carefully wipe out the pan. Heat the remaining teaspoon oil over moderate heat and add the onion, apples and remaining teaspoon fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is soft and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrots, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking until the cabbage and carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and return the pork chops to the pan burying them in the vegetable mixture. Cover and cook just until the pork chops are just slightly blush in the center, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
  • To serve, arrange the warm slaw on individual plates and top with a pork chop and pan juices.

FENNEL, CARROT, AND APPLE SLAW



Fennel, Carrot, and Apple Slaw image

Anise-flavored fennel pairs nicely with sweet apples and earthy carrots for a crunchy slaw.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small head green cabbage, halved, cored, and very thinly sliced (8 cups)
2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, halved, cored, and very thinly sliced (2 cups)
3 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely grated (1 1/2 cups)
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 shallots, peeled and chopped (1/2 cup)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup golden raisins
Freshly ground pepper
1 Granny Smith apple

Steps:

  • Toss cabbage, fennel, carrots, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Toast fennel seeds in a medium saute pan over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until seeds are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add shallots and 1 tablespoon oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in vinegar and raisins. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Pour warm dressing over vegetables, and toss well. Season with pepper, and let stand for 30 minutes. Just before serving, core apple, cut into matchsticks, and mix into slaw.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this slaw, it's best to use a crisp, tart apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the dressing.
  • Shred the apples thinly: This will help them to absorb the dressing better and make the slaw easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help to create clean, even slices of apple.
  • Don't overdress the slaw: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make the slaw soggy and bland.
  • Let the slaw chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Apple slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. With its sweet, tangy, and crunchy flavors, apple slaw is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and healthy side dish, give apple slaw a try.
