How to Make A Different Slaw For A Change

  1. **Make the Dressing:** In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend all dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender until well combined.
  2. **Prepare the Coleslaw:** In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, thinly sliced red onion, and diced apple.
  3. **Combine and Chill:** Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss gently to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. **Refrigerate:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to chill completely. This step enhances the overall taste and texture!
  5. **Serve:** Serve chilled and enjoy! This slaw is delicious on its own or as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or sandwiches.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
