Red Cabbage Slaw with Apples and Cranberries

In the fall, when apples are super fresh, they’re tart and crisp and sooo juicy. Biting into one just off the tree is kind of the best.

When you go to cook with them, though, you tend to think dessert.

Don’t get us wrong, we love a good apple pie or crisp, but you lose the juicy crunch when you soften them up.

This recipe allows you to incorporate them into your meals in a super fresh way, as part of a slaw you can eat alongside protein like chicken, fish, or burgers.

Ingredients

5 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup rice vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar in the raw

2 tablespoon white wine vinegar

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 1/4 cups thinly sliced Granny Smith apples

1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

 

Directions

  1. Combine cabbage and cranberries in a large bowl.
  2. Combine vinegar and next 5 ingredients (vinegar through pepper), stirring with a whisk; drizzle over cabbage mixture, tossing gently to coat.
  3. Cover and chill 2 hours.
  4. Add apple, and toss well to combine.
  5. Sprinkle with pecans.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Fruit in a salad can turn greens watery or overpower other ingredients, but not if you do it right. This slaw is crunchy and refreshingly light. Apples provide vitamin C and inflammation-fighting flavonoids, the red cabbage is chock full of vitamin K, and it’s a great way to get some vinegar into your diet.
