Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 large Granny Smith apple
• 0.5 cup Walnuts
• 0.75 cup Crumbled blue cheese
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor to yield about 4 cups. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots, and then grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Core and thinly slice the Granny Smith apple into matchstick-sized pieces. Add the apple slices to the cabbage and carrot mixture.

Step 4

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool, then roughly chop and add to the bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.

Step 8

Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar, if needed.

Step 9

Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Before serving, sprinkle the reserved blue cheese and a few extra toasted walnuts on top for garnish. Serve cold or at room temperature.
