AppleColeslaw combines green cabbage, tart apples, sweetened cranberries, and crisp almonds with an ultra-creamy and multi-dimensional dressing. Instead of just using mayo, we also use sour cream, Dijon mustard, and a few other ingredients that add such a great flavor.
DRESSING: In a medium-sized bowl combine all the dressing ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I add 3/4 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper). Use a whisk to mix until completely smooth. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
SLAW PREP: Thinly slice cabbage and cut apples into matchsticks (See Note 1 for more details). Thinly slice celery and green onions. Combine all in a large bowl with almonds and cranberries. Pour every bit of dressing over and toss well. Place in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to soften; then toss well again, taste/adjust for seasoning, and serve. Toss well occasionally during serving and after it has sat or been refrigerated for any length of time.

Notes
Note 1: Here's how to prepare the cabbage:
Start by removing any outer leaves that are browned or crumpled.
Cut the cabbage exactly in half.
Cut those halves in half (to get four quarters) and then cut out the core of each quarter.
Slice each cabbage quarter into very thin shreds.
Transfer the sliced cabbage to a salad spinner base. Wash thoroughly and spin to dry completely.
How to prepare the apples:
Wash and fully dry the apples.
Cut each side from the core to get four pieces.
Cut each piece into thin slices.
Cut each slice into thin slices that look like matchsticks.
