Apple Ginger Coleslaw
One of the best things about fall and winter fruits are the apples. Fujis are my favorite, and adding a tasty fruit is a great way to eat more veggies. This is a coleslaw that I make regularly through the winter when cabbage and apples are both economical and seasonal. The grated ginger is the secret ingredient, and elevates the flavor. With no mayonnaise in the dressing, this coleslaw is fat free.
Apple Ginger Coleslaw
makes about 3 cups
2 cups of thinly sliced cabbage
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 apple, cored and cut into bite sized pieces
dressing:
1/4 cup orange juice
1 T lemon juice
1 teaspoon mustard
1-3 teaspoons honey (to taste)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
pinch of salt
Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together and pour over the salad. Toss and make sure all of the apple pieces are coated. Let sit for 10 minutes to soften the crunchiness of the cabbage slightly.

Hi April, thanks.
Oh Wow! This sounds amazing and I’ll certainly give it a try and will link back when I do
Hi Sarah, I love hearing reports back. Thanks.
This sounds amazing and I love non-mayo based coleslaws! Can’t wait to make it. Just a quick question for you: what kind of mustard do you use? Stoneground? Dijon? Thank you so much
Hi Stephanie, when I made this I used dijon mustard, although I think that almost any kind would work. Thanks for stopping by.
