Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage The base of your dish, offering irresistible crunch.
  • 1 large apple, thinly sliced For a sweet, refreshing twist.
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries Provides bursts of sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots Adds color and natural sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional) For extra crunch and nuttiness.
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise The creamy dressing that ties everything together.
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar Adds a tangy twist.
  • 1 tbsp honey Natural sweetener that enhances flavors.
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard For a bit of zing.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Finishing touch.
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper Adds flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, apple slices, dried cranberries, shredded carrots, and sliced almonds (if you're feeling adventurous).
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is silky and smooth.
  3. Gently pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix and toss until everything is evenly coated in that creamy goodness.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve cold as a side dish or enjoy it as a light meal.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. This coleslaw can be made a day in advance, but give it a final mix before serving.
