We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Nuts ... Optional to toast them; but, I think it adds a lot of flavor. Add the walnuts to a small dry saute pan on medium high heat. Toast the nuts stirring often for 2-3 minutes. Once you can smell the nuts; they are done. Set to the side to cool; then, lightly chop.

  • Step 2: Dressing ... Add all the ingredients to the bottom of a large bowl; and mix to combine.

  • Step 3: Slaw ... Add everything except the nuts to the bowl; and, toss until everything is mixed through. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. I like to let the slaw rest before I re-season. Then, add the nuts, and lightly toss once again. I like to save a few extra nuts to garnish. * NOTE: I often will use a mix of granny smith and any firm apple in season. I love Gala or fuji; but, that is up to you. If you like more tart ... use Granny Smith. Cover with plastic wrap; and chill at least 30 minutes before serving.

  • Step 4: Serve and ENJOY! ... For me - it is the perfect Fall slaw.
