Ingredients

1/2 head (medium) red cabbage, finely shredded
1/4 cup white onion, finely minced

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

Use a variety of apples. Different apples will give your slaw different flavors and textures. For example, Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy.
Shred your apples thinly. This will help them to absorb the dressing and make them easier to eat.
Add other vegetables to your slaw. Shredded cabbage, carrots, and celery are all popular additions. You can also add nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra flavor and crunch.
Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve your slaw chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Purple apple slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year long. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish, give purple apple slaw a try.
