Slaw Ingredients

1 small head green cabbage, finely shredded (about 6–7 cups packed)
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and julienned
1 large carrot, shredded
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup golden raisins

Dressing Ingredients

1/4 cup lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
4 1/2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, place the finely shredded cabbage, julienned apples, and shredded carrot. Add the dried cranberries and golden raisins, and gently mix everything together until evenly distributed.
Whisk dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the balance of acidity and sweetness by adding more lemon juice or honey as desired.
Toss and chill: Pour the prepared dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate the slaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
This slaw is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey based on your preference.
If you prefer a tangier slaw, increase the apple cider vinegar slightly.
To make it vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
