Apple Cranberry Coleslaw with Creamy Ginger Dressing is a vibrant, crunchy side dish that combines shredded cabbage, sweet apples, tangy dried cranberries, and a creamy ginger dressing. It’s fresh, slightly sweet, and full of texture—perfect for fall or any time you want a colorful slaw.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded (optional)
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 large apple (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • For the creamy ginger dressing:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine green and red cabbage, carrots, apple slices, cranberries, and green onions.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayo, Greek yogurt, grated ginger, vinegar, honey, lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
  5. Stir again before serving. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a tart apple like Granny Smith for a tangier version.
  • Add chopped pecans or sunflower seeds for crunch.
  • Substitute dried cherries or raisins for the cranberries.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt and mayo for a dairy-free version.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
