Time 10 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 very small red cabbage to yield about 8 cups, shredded
  • 2 small or 1 very large tart green apple
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley

Lemon Vinaigrette

  • juice + zest from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • 1. Thinly slice the cabbage, apple, and red onion, and roughly chop the parsley. Pile them all into a large bowl and set aside.
  • 2. Put all vinaigrette ingredients into a mason jar with a lid, and shake to combine (alternately, whisk together in a small bowl). Pour dressing over the slaw, and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe yields enough slaw to feed 4-6 people as a stand-alone side dish on a 'regular' day, but on Thanksgiving, this recipe should yield plenty of slaw for 10+ people to have a small scoop on their plate along with all the other Thanksgiving sides.
