Whole 30 Whole30 Apple Cabbage Slaw
Crisp, colorful, and genuinely refreshing, this slaw brings together shredded green and red cabbage with tart Granny Smith apple for a combination that's as pretty on the plate as it is satisfying to eat. The tangy apple cider vinegar dressing — whisked together with olive oil, Dijon mustard, and celery seed — coats every strand without a drop of added sugar or anything that would knock you off track. That's the beauty of this one: slaw dressings are often where hidden sugars and non-compliant additives sneak in, but every ingredient here is clean and straightforward. A quick 10-minute rest lets the cabbage soften just enough to soak up all that bright, mustardy flavor before you even take a bite. Fresh parsley adds a pop of herby freshness, and a handful of toasted pumpkin seeds on top gives you a satisfying crunch if you want it. This makes four servings, so it's ideal for meal prep or as a crowd-pleasing side alongside grilled protein all week long.
