Notes

  • For best texture and flavor, eat this slaw the same day that you make it. The apples will start to brown after a day and the veggies will get soft. 
  • Use any kind of crisp apples in this salad! I used Honeycrisp, but you can try granny smith, gala, or pink lady. 
  • Make this recipe vegan by replacing the honey with maple syrup or agave.
