Tips & Tricks

For an extra crunch, consider adding a handful of toasted nuts or seeds to the slaw. To make the flavors pop, let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the dressing to meld with the vegetables, enhancing the overall taste.
🔄

Recipe Variations

You can switch up the vegetables by adding shredded red cabbage or thinly sliced bell peppers for a colorful twist. If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute some of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. For a vegan version, use a plant-based mayonnaise and maple syrup instead of honey.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover Creamy Apple Slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving to redistribute the dressing. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the vegetables may become mushy.
