This easy apple slaw with poppyseed dressing is a quick side dish salad recipe! The healthy cabbage coleslaw includes sweet apples and a tangy dressing with apple cider vinegar. This is the best creamy salad to use with pork, tacos or on it's own.
For me the beginning of September officially starts apple season. It's time to make everything with apples, including this quick and easy apple coleslaw recipe!

Ingredients
- Mayonnaise
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Poppyseeds
- Honey
- Sea Salt
- Coarse Ground Black Pepper
- Coleslaw Mix

- Sweet Apples
Instructions
In a small bowl add the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, poppyseeds, honey, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a large serving bowl add the coleslaw mix, thinly sliced green onions and julienned apple. Pour the dressing mixture over top. Stir to coat the salad.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and serve cold.
Hint: This creamy coleslaw salad gets better the longer it marinates in the dressing! I like to make this salad the day before and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
Substitutions
- Cabbage - instead of bags of coleslaw mix you can use finely chopped cabbage
- Maple Syrup - you can replace the honey with maple syrup or use a mixture of both
- Shallots - the green onions can be replaced with one finely diced shallot
Supplies
Storage
Store this easy apple slaw in an air tight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Be sure to stir before serving to mix the salad and dressing again.
I think this creamy salad gets better the next day after it has had time to marinate in the poppyseed dressing!
