Apple Walnut Cranberry Coleslaw
Our kitchen team first made this Apple Walnut Cranberry Coleslaw during the holidays, but it’s become a year-round staple thanks to our ability to get fresh fruits, nuts and seeds all year round in California. This salad is cool, crunchy, sweet and savory, our favorite salad profile.
Ingredients
Coleslaw
- 3 cups cabbage - finely shredded into strips
- 2 whole carrots - peeled, julienned into thin strips
- 2 stalks celery - cleaned of strings, and finely chopped
- 2 stalks green onion - finely diced, including whites
- 1 red apple - crisp variety, cored, and sliced into thin strips or wedges
- ½ cup dried cranberries - or raisins
- ½ cup walnuts - halves or pieces (or try pecans!)
- 2-3 sprigs Fresh Parsley - minced
Honey Yogurt Dressing
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt - plain, unsweetened, non-fat
- 2 tablespoons Mike's Hot Honey - or your favorite unflavored honey and add a pinch of cayenne
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice - or lime juice, or orange juice
Instructions
Dressing
- Combine all ingredients, tasting to get a nice balance of sweetness, tartness and "bite" as you go. Set aside to chill in the fridge.
Slaw
- Lightly toast the walnut pieces in a skillet on medium heat, 2-3 minutes, watching carefully. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all vegetables and fruits. Keep the nuts out for now.
- Gently mix in chilled honey yogurt dressing, amounts to taste and the texture or viscosity you like. Wrap in cling-film and chill.
- Before serving, gently toss in walnuts, or sprinkle on portions as served.
- Enjoy!
This has become one of our favorite slaws, thank you!
Really, really good. Added it to a turkey sandwich as the “produce and that was delicious. Also plan to make this again and add chopped rotisserie chicken to make it a complete meal. I added cayenne to honey to make my own “hot honey” and liked it so much, I’ll keep some on hand, or, try Mike’s Hot Honey. They had some interesting recipes, too.
