GREEN APPLE, CABBAGE, AND CARAWAY SLAW
At my first barbecue competition in Des Moines, Iowa, one of the old-timers who was cruising the grounds in a golf cart stopped to chat and then took me under his wing. We started to talk about food, as one deeply interested professional to another. "I'd love to show you my Walla Walla onions," he said with paternal pride. I'm always glad to taste someone's prize ingredients, and thankful for their sharing. I think my genuine appreciation of his gesture moved him. With the air of a seasoned veteran offering advice to a newcomer, he said, "If you want to win, think apple." I gave his advice some serious thought. Champion barbecuers often inject their creations with apple juice or slather them with apple jelly or both. So, as the saying goes, when in Rome . . . I microplaned some Granny Smith apples and added them to my board dressing, which was a new way of using an ingredient that the judges knew and liked. The technique has become my secret weapon for waking up barbecue flavors. This slaw is slightly acidic and tangy from the green apple. It has massive crunch and little flavor capsules of caraway. I love it with the Smoked Pork Shoulder with Lime Coriander Salt.

APPLE-CABBAGE SLAW
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.

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.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the green and red cabbages; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo, sourcream, vinegar, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Add the apple(the apple should look almost like matchsticks).

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most commonly used, but you can also use red cabbage or Napa cabbage. Make sure the cabbage is fresh and crisp.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw to be more tender and easier to eat.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage: This will give you clean, even slices.
- Add other vegetables and fruits: Shredded carrots, celery, and bell peppers are all great additions to cabbage slaw. You can also add fruits like apples, grapes, or pineapple.
- Choose a flavorful dressing: Mayonnaise-based dressings are the most popular, but you can also use vinegar-based or oil-based dressings. Be sure to taste the dressing before you add it to the slaw, and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Let the slaw chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more crisp.
