Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 Granny Smith apples
1 jicama (about 1 pound), peeled
2 carrots
1/2 head small green cabbage, finely shredded

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, orange juice, vinegar, and basil; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
Slice the apples, jicama, and carrots on the thinnest setting of a mandoline or with a sharp knife, then cut slices into julienne, about 2 inches long.
In a large bowl, toss julienned apples, jicama, carrots, and cabbage with the mayonnaise mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

To ensure maximum crunch, opt for firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
The mandoline slicer is the easiest way to achieve thinly sliced apples. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples by hand.
For a milder onion flavor, soak the red onion slices in cold water for 10 minutes before adding them to the slaw.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the slaw such as shredded carrots, thinly sliced cabbage, or julienned bell peppers.
For a tangy dressing, use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of vinegar. You can also add a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
If you're making the slaw ahead of time, toss the apples and onions with the dressing just before serving to prevent the apples from browning.

Conclusion:

This crunchy apple slaw is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it tangy, sweet, or somewhere in between, this slaw is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give this crunchy apple slaw a try.
