Spiralized Apple and Cabbage Slaw is a refreshing and healthy salad that combines the sweetness of apples with the crunch of cabbage. It's perfect as a side dish for barbecues or a light, nutritious lunch. This recipe is easy to prepare and is packed with vitamins and fiber, making it a great addition to any meal.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed and the honey is fully dissolved.
- Wash and dry the apple. Using a spiralizer, create thin, noodle-like pieces from the apple. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or a sharp knife to cut thin strips.
- Remove any wilted outer leaves from both the green and red cabbages. Shred the cabbages finely using a sharp knife or a food processor. Aim for thin, even strips to ensure a good texture in the slaw.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the spiralized apple with the shredded green and red cabbages. Toss them together to mix evenly.
- Pour the dressing over the apple and cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are coated evenly with the dressing.
- For the best flavor, let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally if you can.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Tips:
- Use a spiralizer to get even and consistent apple spirals, but if you don’t have one, you can also use a julienne peeler or a sharp knife.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or fresh herbs like parsley or mint.
- Let the slaw sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to slightly soften.
- Feel free to adjust the vinegar and honey to balance the tanginess and sweetness according to your taste.
- To keep the apple from browning, toss the spirals with a little lemon juice before mixing them with the other ingredients.
Spiralized Apple and Cabbage Slaw is a versatile and vibrant dish that offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. It's a delightfully crunchy and nutritious salad, suitable for various occasions. Enjoy this colorful slaw as a complement to your main courses or as a standalone snack for a healthy treat.
