Green Apple Coleslaw

This is a vinegar based coleslaw (Big Pete doesn't like the mayonnaise variety, don't ya know!) I like the texture very fine but, you can certainly make it chunkier by cutting the cabbage with a knife instead of a mandolin. When you make it very fine it is best served within a few hours of making it. The green apple gives it a nice tart and sweet flavour.

You will need:

• 1 small cabbage (I have used green)
• 2 carrots
• 1 green apple
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2-3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sweet mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• salt and pepper

Step 1: slice a small cabbage in half and then quarters.

Step 2: make thin slices with a mandolin or a sharp knife. Discard the core.

Step 3: shred 2 carrots on a grater. 

Step 4: add dressing ingredients directly in the bowl. I have used apple salt (weird I know!) just because I happen to have a bit of a salt fetish and have lots of strange ones. 

Step 5: just before serving I slice an apple with a knife to get a slightly larger julienne, mix and serve.
