Rate the Recipe:
Light and crisp, Apple Cabbage Slaw is a flavorful accompaniment to your meal. Not only is it quick and easy to whip up but also packed with nutrients and antioxidants.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 apple diced
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 cup cucumber diced
- 1/2 cup carrot juliennes
- 1/4 cup chopped spring onion whites
- 2 tbsp chopped green coriander leaves
For the dressing
- 1/4 cup curd (or plain yogurt)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 jalapeno finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder (jeera)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
Instructions
- To begin, add a teaspoon of salt to the cabbage. Mix well, crush it gently, and allow to strain in a colander.
- In the meantime, prepare the dressing. In a bowl, mix curd, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, jalapeno, cumin powder, and black pepper powder. Keep aside.
- Drain the cabbage and place it in a bowl. Add in the diced apples and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Add in cucumber and carrots. Mix.
- Next, add in the dressing. Toss until well coated.
- Finally, add the spring onions and coriander leaves. Toss well.
- The Apple Cabbage Slaw is ready. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to blend.
Notes
- Prepping the cabbage with salt enhances its flavors and prevents the dressing from turning watery.
- Tossing diced apples in lemon juice before adding the other vegetables ensures that the apples do not oxidize and change color.
- Check out the recipe for the homemade plain mayonnaise I have shared.

And it looks delicious. If we don’t have jalapeno then what should we add mam?

This is extremely tempting to look at and am sure tastes delicious. I make a slight variation of this salad, with lettuce leaves/iceberg leaves, and add in chopped grapes. It tastes heavenly.

Your apple cabbage slaw recipe looks so refreshing as well as wholesome Madhu Ma’am. It’s the right thing to beat the current Bangalore heat. It’s really simple too with all ingredients available at home. The only exotic ingredient is jalapeños which I can skip as no one in my household likes it anyway.

Interestingly (and maybe even spooky? It’s amazing how forces of the universe work up these coincidences) enough, I was watching a show today where they named a dish ‘coleslaw’ and I immediately looked it up. And now, I’m reading your recipe on it. You’ve now pushed me to try it out.
Btw, did you know coleslaw originated in the Netherlands? Mind blown, because that’s where I’m currently residing. See, spooky right?

The Apple Cabbage Slaw recipe sounds simply divine! The thought of the crispness of cabbage paired with the sweetness of apple and that tangy dressing is incredibly mouthwatering. It’s truly yummy for me! What’s particularly appealing is how fast we can make this recipe ready to enjoy. Ideal for hectic weekday dinners or surprise get-togethers, this dish offers both convenience and flavor. Its simplicity clearly gave me the glimpse that you can whip it up in no time, yet it promises to be a healthy addition for any meal. Whether you are short of time or simply craving something fresh and flavorful, this recipe is sure to satisfy. Just imagining the blend of textures and flavors is enough to leave one eager to dive in and savor every bite. I am a Mayonnaise fan, so adding that in the recipe you made it utterly delicious for me mam. Love you.
