This Apple Slaw is a vibrant and crunchy side dish that combines julienned apples with shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. The tangy apple cider vinegar dressing, sweetened with honey and balanced by Dijon mustard, adds a refreshing twist to this classic slaw. Optional parsley and sunflower seeds provide extra flavor and texture. This slaw is versatile and pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, pork chops, or fish. It also complements sandwiches and burgers, offering a crisp, tangy contrast to rich or savory dishes. Serve it chilled for the best crunch and flavor.
