    Want to add something crisp and fresh to the table tonight? Stir up a batch of this super yummy Cabbage Slaw with Apples and Almonds.

    Cabbage Slaw with Apples and Almonds | Good Cheap Eats this …

    I go back and forth between wanting to eat all crisp and fresh vegetables and wanting to carbo load on potatoes and pasta with lots of cheese. I blame winter. While there’s a time and place for everything, there’s no reason why both can’t be delicious and healthful. Everything in moderation, right?

    One of my current favorite dishes that’s perfect for any season is coleslaw. It comes together in minutes and you can vary it in lots of ways.

    Cabbage is also a very cheap eat. We should be seeing sales on cabbage more and more in the next month as St. Patrick’s Day approaches.

    When it does, you’ll want to make this cabbage slaw.

    Chock full of veggies, this cabbage slaw gets its sweetness from the golden raisins, the apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Crisp cabbage, almonds, and green apple give it a bit of crunch. It gets all dressed up in a dill dressing with a bit of cumin and cayenne spice.

    Basically perfection.

    Cabbage Slaw with Apples and Almonds GCe

    This cabbage slaw is perfect served along sauteed chicken or grilled fish. It would go equally well alongside your favorite BBQ main dishes. The combination of flavors is really great.

    If you like your slaw on the crisp side, mix it up right before serving. You can assemble the salad and the dressing ahead of time, storing them separately in the fridge. Leave the apple uncut until dressing the salad so it doesn’t brown prior to serving.

    I’ve made this up to a day in advance with the dressing and apple, and it was still delicious, just a slightly different texture than when served fresh.

    This cabbage slaw is naturally gluten- and dairy-free, so it should suit a large, varied crowd. Omit the almonds for those with nut allergies. Whole 30/Paleo Friends: Provided you use homemade mayonnaise and omit the sugar, this should fit well in your diet.

    Tools I use to make this EASY:

    • stainless steel colander
    • chef’s knife
    • plastic cutting boards
    • stainless steel mixing bowls
    • cooking tongs

      Made this for Memorial Day and it was delicious. I assembled it the day before, minus the apples, then stirred in the morning, then again before serving. Yum even though I had to leave out raisins due to picky family members.

        I understand the picky raisin people. Glad it was a hit even so!

      Have you ever tried sliced fresh pears in salads? They are really good. I could see subbing dried cranberries for golden raisins too.
      Coleslaw minus sugar is my preference. I often sub yogurt for half the mayo in any salad. Saves calories & adds tangy flavor.

      Just made this but added celery, subbed seedless red grapes for the golden raisins, and added some chopped avocado on top. Delicious!!!
