Move over boring coleslaw, this cabbage apple slaw is healthier and tangier than a traditional coleslaw. Add it to your favorite pulled pork sandwich, as a burger topping or eat it as a side.

Serves 8

Ingredients

• 1 large onion (sweet or red), thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 8 cups mixed shredded cabbage (bagged coleslaw mix works great)
• 1 large apple, cored and shredded, choose a tart apple, like a granny smith, for a savory slaw

Directions 

In a non-stick skillet sauté the onion, stirring frequently until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and salt. Add the onions, cabbage mixture and apple, toss well.
