Apple Coleslaw, cooked at home

It’s October! Yeah! We just love fall season, even the smell of it. The pies, the hot ciders, the bread, and even our kimchi in the fridge. But here we present apple coleslaw recipe.

We picked tons of apples in the local orchard last weekend, we've been eating apples at least one everyday. Koreans believe eating an apple a day will make you look radiant(?), so someday we hope our face will be radiant like a laser beam… we better start the conquest on our apples.

Wonderfully compliment any BBQ dish, we love the unfussy yet full of flavor of this apple coleslaw. It is better to chill this slaw for 1 hr so the flavors can incorporate each other. But don’t leave too long, it will get watery and soggy.

How the dish comes together

Here are what we need; cabbage, apples, carrot, red onion, parsley, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, honey, and salt + pepper to taste. Am we missing anything? So far so good. We will see…

Slice the cabbage thinly. Julienne your apples. We used golden savory and Jonathan.

And your carrot, too. We like our carrots to be thin.

Put them in the water and add 1 tsp of vinegar to them. Keeps the apples from oxidizing and other veges crisp. Soak them in the water for about 10 minutes.

Drain them well. No need to rinse.

Make dressing by combining the ingredients above. Dang! We missed the apple cider vinegar on the photo. We are so clumsy. Don’t forget to add vinegar to the dressing.

Chop red onion,

and parsley

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and pour the dressing over.

Toss well.

You can add some roasted sesame seeds if you like. Adds nice nutty flavor. Done! One recipe to go for our apples!
