Equipment

  • large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more if needed
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more if needed
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (from about ½ head of cabbage)
  • 1 large apple cut into matchsticks (any kind will work)
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion (from about ½ of a medium onion)
  • ½ cup dried cranberries (I used sweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ cup candied pecans chopped (see notes for alternatives)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, maple syrup, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Add the shredded green cabbage, sliced apple, thinly sliced red onion, dried cranberries, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped candied pecans.
  • Use tongs to mix everything together well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend together.

Notes

This coleslaw can be made ahead by mixing the dressing separately and tossing everything together 30 minutes before serving. Leftovers are still great.
