Autumn Slaw Recipe

David Venable

Look no further than this seasonal side dish for a taste of fall.

Slaw

  • 1/2 head red cabbage, rough chopped
  • 1/2 head savoy or Napa cabbage, rough chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, julienned
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecans, garnish
  • 2 Tbsp green onions, thinly sliced, garnish

Directions

To prepare for the slaw, start by preheating or setting your oven to broil.
In a mixing bowl, toss the cabbage with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper.
Spread the prepared cabbage on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes. Check to see if the cabbage starts to char at some of the
edges. If not, stir the cabbage around on the baking sheet and broil for another 5 minutes.
Once done, transfer the cabbage to a large mixing bowl and add the apple.
To prepare the dressing, whisk together the apple butter, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, lemon juice, oil, ginger, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
To finish the dish, pour the dressing over the cabbage and apples, then toss to coat. Transfer to a platter or serving bowl and garnish with the pecans and green onions.

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup apple butter
  • 3 Tbsp apple cider
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Cook's Notes

To ensure the apples don't brown, tossed them in a little bit of water and lemon juice.
