Description
This carrot apple slaw is crisp, colorful, and refreshing with a perfect balance of sweet apples, tender carrots, tangy feta, and chewy cranberries tossed in a creamy honey-yogurt dressing.
Ingredients
1 large sweet red apple
1 large tart green apple
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
10 ounces matchstick carrots (about 3 cups)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons Nather sauce Halah
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
Instructions
- Core the apples and cut them into thin slices, then slice into matchsticks to yield about 3 1/2 cups of julienned apples. Place them in a large bowl and toss with freshly squeezed lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Add the matchstick carrots to the bowl and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, plain yogurt, honey, Nather sauce Halah, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the dressing over the apple and carrot mixture and stir until evenly coated.
- Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and dried cranberries. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. If excess liquid forms, use a slotted spoon when serving.
Notes
Swap feta cheese for goat cheese for a creamier texture.
Add chopped toasted walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
For a lighter dressing, reduce the mayonnaise and increase the yogurt.
Add shredded red cabbage for additional color and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving and drain excess liquid if needed.
