This easy Apple Slaw combines crisp cabbage, Granny Smith apples, and shredded carrots with a creamy, sweet, and tangy dressing. A crunchy, refreshing side dish that's perfect for BBQs, cookouts, and family dinners.
Prep the Vegetables: Start by chopping the cabbage and shredding the carrots. Dice the apples into thin matchstick-sized pieces.
Make the Dressing: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery salt, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Combine the Slaw: Add the cabbage, carrots, and apples to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and apples. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, chill the Apple Slaw before serving. This allows the flavors to blend while keeping the vegetables crisp and crunchy.

Notes
Don't peel the apple. The apple skin adds color and helps keep the apples crisp.
Cut the apple into matchsticks. This makes them easier to eat and distributes the apples throughout the slaw.
Don't overdress the slaw. Start with the recommended amount and add more only if needed.
Chill before serving. A little time in the refrigerator allows the flavors to blend.
Storage
Store leftover Apple Slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because the slaw contains mayonnaise, keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.The slaw may soften slightly as it sits, but the flavors will continue to develop.
