This beautiful apple and cabbage slaw is sweet, bright and crisp, the perfect side dish to any meal and great to bring to a potluck.
Apple Cabbage Slaw
Apple Cabbage SlawThis slaw is super refreshing and takes less than 20 minutes to make. More easy side dishes using my vegetable spiralizer that I love are Raw Spiralized Beet and Mandarin Salad with Mint, Spiralized Veggie Gratin, and Spiralized Carrot Salad with lemon dijon dressing.
You don’t need a spiralizer to make this, you can of course core and cut the apples into thin strips. But, if you do have one, use it because it’s so much easier and quicker to do! No coring, and the seeds just pop out. I used the thicker blade on my Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer to make my apple zoodles, which are not just for zucchini! That’s why I love this tool so much. You can essentially spiralize any vegetable and use it to add into salads, bakes or simply sautee, and also as a pasta base, like my spiralized parsnip pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage!
Tips on how to spiralize an apple
I simply just remove the stems and place the thicker end in the little spokes for a better grip. Then spiralize and quickly add the dressing so the apples don’t brown (lemon juice works too).
The poppy seed dressing is the perfect finish to this slaw, hope you enjoy!

Very refreshing. It’s my new favorite slaw!
This was such a good side for dinner and easy to make! Love using the spiralizer any chance I get!
Looks delicious. I’ll probably use my apple peeler/corer instead of my spiralizer because I don’t like apple peels.
Omg! You ARE a genious! Thank you for this tip, I too have to use the kitchen shears in the process.

This was my first recipes to try and my husband and I both loved it. And it was so simple.
They look so much like mustard seeds! Are you sure they are poppy seeds? I have them but they are white round and way smaller.
poppy seeds are black. mustard seeds are white to pale tan.

Just wondering if you prefer this spiralizer over the Inspiralizer you recommend in a different recipe. I want to get one and want the best option. By the way, I love all these recipes!! I don’t believe I’ve made one yet that we didn’t enjoy!
I save time with the Paderno spiralizer by making a slit down the length of whatever I am using before turning. This keeps the spirals only one circumference in length. That way I don’t have to cut with scissors afterwards. Works fine with solid veggies, but would not work with hollow ones like a bell pepper. Really helps when sauteing the smaller noodle cuts. Otherwise the long noodles just end up in a twisted clump.
Omg! You ARE a genious! Thank you for this tip, I too have to use the kitchen shears in the process.
