Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used for slaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your slaw a more vibrant color.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will give your slaw different flavors and textures. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice because they are tart and crisp, but you can also use Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Fuji apples.
  • Don't overdress the slaw: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. If you add too much, the slaw will become soggy and watery.
  • Let the slaw chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Apple cabbage slaw is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best apple cabbage slaw that will impress your family and friends.
