Notes

Feel free to use green or red apples—both work well and add a different nuance. The mayo in the dressing gives it creaminess, but you can substitute Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for a lighter version. The slaw is best served cold, and you can prepare it a few hours ahead; store in the fridge and toss again before serving. Leftovers keep well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days, though the apples may soften a bit. Try adding sunflower seeds or toasted walnuts for extra crunch.
