Apple Cabbage Salad Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Cabbage Salad

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Dry Mustard
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 1/4 cup water (for dressing) + 1 tablespoon cold water (for arrowroot)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
• Plain Yogurt
• 8 cups shredded green cabbage

How to Make Apple Cabbage Salad

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar until smooth.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cold water and 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder until smooth. Gradually whisk this mixture into the saucepan with the other ingredients until the dressing thickens slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dressing cool completely. Then, refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Once chilled, stir in 1/4 cup plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons of your favorite mayonnaise (optional).
5. In a large bowl, combine 8 cups of shredded green cabbage and 2 medium apples (cored and thinly sliced).
6. Pour the chilled dressing over the cabbage and apples.
7. Gently toss to coat evenly.
8. Serve immediately or chill further for a colder salad. Enjoy!
