Make this vibrant Apple Cranberry Coleslaw for a refreshing side dish that balances sweet apples and tart cranberries with a zesty, creamy dressing. It is quick to prepare and perfect for BBQs or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (14 oz) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1 large crisp apple (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Toast the walnuts: Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Combine vegetables and fruit: In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, chopped apple, and dried cranberries.
  4. Dress the slaw: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Add crunch: Fold in the toasted walnuts.
  6. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute all the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • This slaw pairs wonderfully with pulled pork or grilled chicken. If you are looking into better meal planning, this recipe is a great addition.
  • If you want a tangier dressing, add an extra teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
