Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage, finely shredded (about 6 cups)
  • 2 medium apples, cored and diced (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline. Aim for shreds about 1/8 inch thick. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Core and dice the apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
  3. Add the dried cranberries to the bowl. If using nuts, chop them coarsely and add them as well.
  4. Chop the parsley finely and add it to the bowl.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and Dijon mustard.
  6. Add celery seeds, salt, and pepper to the dressing mixture.
  7. Whisk all dressing ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Pour this dressing over the cabbage, apple, cranberry, and nut mixture in the large bowl.
  8. Gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated with dressing.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably an hour) before serving.
  10. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve chilled as a side dish.
