This apple coleslaw with cranberries and pecans is a crunchy, sweet, and savory twist on classic coleslaw. Tossed with a creamy maple balsamic dressing, this apple slaw still features healthy and fiber-rich (and cheap!) green cabbage. Plus, it’s easy to make ahead of time and the leftovers hold up really well, making it perfect for a get-together, potluck, or for meal prep.
While this coleslaw recipe screams “fall,” I think this salad is the perfect side dish all year round. It would be just as at home on your Thanksgiving table as it would be for a summer evening BBQ.
While it’s a great side dish, you can also add your favorite protein like roast or grilled chicken to it for a meal!
The dressing it’s tossed with is a simple mixture of mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and olive oil. I put this stuff on everything, and I even have a post on how to make creamy maple balsamic dressing on its own. I also love putting it on a green salad with cranberries and goat cheese.
You’ll be able to whip up this easy apple coleslaw recipe in only 15 minutes or so.
