Ingredients
– 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise (full fat preferred)
– 1/4 cup honey (can substitute with granulated sugar)
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (rice or red wine vinegar can be used)
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 1 small green cabbage, shredded (6-7 cups packed, about 16 oz chopped)
– 1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots
– 2 large apples, sliced into matchsticks (about 3 cups; sweet or red apples recommended)
– 1/2 cup green onions

– 3/4 cup dried cranberries (raisins, dried blueberries, or chopped dried apricots are good alternatives)
– Optional cheese: blue cheese, feta, or sharp cheddar
Instructions
1-Getting started with apple cranberry almond coleslaw: Begin by pulling together all your ingredients and giving the fruits and veggies a good wash to keep things fresh. This step helps you stay organized and makes the process smooth from start to finish.
2-Once everything is prepped: dice the apples into small, even pieces to blend well with the cabbage. Mix them quickly with a bit of apple cider vinegar right away to stop any browning and keep that crisp texture. Then, in a big bowl, toss in the shredded cabbage, carrots, apples, green onions, almonds, cranberries, and any cheese if you choose to add it.
3-Whip up the dressing: by mixing the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and apple cider vinegar until it’s nice and smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Pour this over your slaw mix and gently stir to coat everything evenly. Let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the flavors blend, and serve it up cold for the best taste. If you want to tweak it, swap in yogurt for mayo to lighten things up.
