Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 large Green apple
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 3 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Canola oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and finely shred the leaves using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Core the green apple and slice it into thin matchsticks, leaving the peel on for added color and texture. Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning, then add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Chop the fresh dill finely and sprinkle it into the bowl with the vegetables and apple.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the white vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and canola oil until well combined to create the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Let the coleslaw rest for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the coleslaw to a serving dish and garnish with a small sprig of fresh dill if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
