Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 2 cups Red cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly shred the green and red cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Quarter and core the apples, leaving the skin on if desired for added texture and color. Using a mandoline or knife, thinly slice or julienne the apples and mix them into the bowl.

Step 4

Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and set it aside for later use.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, and apple mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly in the dressing.

Step 7

Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the slaw.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the slaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.
