Are you doing any Thanksgiving planning yet?

I know if you have any special dietary needs like my family does, you may plan out your whole holiday meal weeks ahead of time. You might even make some of the dishes a couple of times to make sure that the recipes work well.

I understand! It’s a big holiday, and you want everyone to be happy. Recipes like cornbread stuffing, gluten free vegan pumpkin pie, and dairy free mashed potatoes will all make an appearance on my table.

It’s also nice to have some simpler side dishes, too. Some sides that you don’t have to think too hard about. This red cabbage apple slaw is such an easy side dish, and it’s one that you can make ahead of time.

It doesn’t get any easier than this – shred the cabbage and apples in the food processor, shake up the dressing in a jar, and that’s it! A sweet, tangy, crunchy cabbage apple slaw that’s a pretty color as well! This is a delicious and beautiful addition to your holiday table.

How do you cut cabbage for coleslaw?

I like to use my food processor, because it makes things easier, and it makes really fine shreds. But, if you would rather not use the food processor, you can use a really sharp knife. Read more about how to shred cabbage here.

What can I use in place of onions in this recipe?

You can use fresh chives if you wish, or you can even add some shredded carrots for a little more texture and color.

How should I store leftover coleslaw?

You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days. If you need to make it ahead of time, it’s fine to make it a day or two before your event.

    Thank you. I woke up
    Stressed about the holidays with all the allergies and I just don’t have time to keep
    making stuff ahead to keep seeing if they work. When you add my family coming and put all my allergies with theirs it’s hard to find a combo dish of anything that works

    So easy! I love the combo of red cabbage and apples. I make a braised red cabbage and apple dish that’s delish, but definitely not as quick to make as this!
