Ingredients
Salad
- 1 14 ounce bag coleslaw mix (tri-color preferred)
- 2 medium Honey Crisp apples, sliced matchstick thin
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine the main ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the coleslaw mix, thinly sliced Honey Crisp apples, and chopped cilantro, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the dressing: In a smaller bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, celery seed, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to your taste until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
- Toss the salad with dressing: Pour the dressing over the coleslaw and apple mixture, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Chill and serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the apple slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For best results, slice apples thinly to match the texture of the coleslaw mix.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Can be made a few hours ahead but is best served the same day for optimal crispness.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
