Ingredients
  • 6-7 c. cabbage, quartered, cored, sliced into thin strips
  • ⅔ c. shredded carrot
  • ¼ c. shredded red onion
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, cored, sliced thin, cut into ¼" strips- about 1-1/2 c.
  • 2 t. table salt
  • Dressing:
  • ½ c. mayonnaise
  • 3 T. Honey
  • 2 T . Dijon
  • 2 t. yellow mustard
  • 1 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 pressed garlic clove
  • ⅛ t. black pepper
  • ½ t. celery seed
  • ⅛ t. smoked paprika
  • ⅛ t. cayenne
  • Walnuts-optional
Instructions
  1. Quarter and core a head of cabbage. Taking a few leaves at a time, make ¼" slices lengthwise, then slice in half. Measure out 6-7 cups of loosely packed cabbage strips.
  2. Shred carrots and onions using a box grater.
  3. Core and slice apple thinly. Cut slices into matchstick pieces.
  4. Combine apples with all of the other ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle salt over the mixture in a bowl and toss to coat.
  6. Place mix in colander over the bowl to catch the water released. Let it sit for about an hour.
  7. Remove the bowl from underneath. In the sink, run cool water over cabbage mix, as you toss and stir it, to thoroughly rinse off salt. I usually do this for a couple of minutes. Do a taste test!
  8. Place contents on a clean dish towel. Roll it up and gently wring out excess water.
  9. Unroll towel and pat any remaining water by blotting with paper towels. Place in a clean mixing bowl.
  10. Blend the dressing ingredients with a whisk until smooth.
  11. Pour dressing over cabbage mix and gently stir to coat throroughly.
  12. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
  13. Enjoy!
