    Coleslaw With Apples and Poppy Seeds Recipe

    Crunchy and fresh, with that straight-from-the-fridge chill on the bowl – a big scoop of really good coleslaw is an easy way to round out anything you happen to be cooking.

    The milder taste goes perfectly with anything spicy (jerk chicken, anyone?), but it’s just as good with a classic burger and fries or whatever else is on the menu for tonight. And it doesn’t even take any cooking, so it’s a no-brainer for those days when the heat is unbearable enough without turning on the oven.

    Coleslaw With Apples and Poppy Seeds

    In this recipe, I’ve jazzed up the basic cabbage-and-mayo formula with some tasty extras: apple slices to add a little sweetness, bell pepper to make it juicier, and poppy seeds to add a fresh new twist to the dressing.

    Using both red and green cabbage will add more color to the slaw, but if you don’t have red, just substitute with more green – it’ll still taste delicious.

    If you’re really serious about coleslaw chemistry, you can get some extremely in-depth tips from The Food Lab here on everything from pre-salting the cabbage to the almost-undetectable differences between the different types.

    But if you’re just looking for something quick and easy for dinner, the beauty of coleslaw is that you don’t have to stress about the salting technique to get a delicious, crunchy salad.

    Just chop everything up, toss it together, and pop it in the fridge to chill – an hour later, you’ll be enjoying your delicious slaw completely hassle-free.
