Servings: 4 people
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

For the dressing

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.
