Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
dash freshly ground black pepper

Slaw Ingredients

2 apples unpeeled, cut into matchsticks, see note 1
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cups chopped cabbage
1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots
2 green onions finely chopped

Instructions

Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing and let rest so that the granulated sugar has some time to dissolve into the dressing (see note 2). Before adding to the salad, taste and adjust flavors if necessary. If too tart, add a bit more honey. If too sweet, add a little more lemon juice.
1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, dash freshly ground black pepper
Chop the apples and toss with one tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
2 apples, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Toss the remaining ingredients together. Add in the apples. Then pour the dressing over and toss to combine.
3 cups chopped cabbage, 1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots, 2 green onions

Notes

Apples: I prefer to go with one red and one green for this recipe. I like to use Gala for sweetness and Granny Smith for tartness. Additionally, both varieties are nice and crisp, which is perfect for this slaw. After you chop the apples, toss them with one tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Dressing: Letting the dressing rest allows both the sugar and the salt in the dressing to dissolve. Dissolved sugar has already combined with water, so it won't pull water out of the apples and cabbage, keeping your slaw from getting soggy.
