Tips
Resting the slaw for 15 minutes allows the cabbage to soften slightly and flavors to blend.
Use crisp apples like Granny Smith to maintain texture contrast.
Add seeds just before serving to preserve their crunch.
Good to Know
Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days. Slaw may become softer over time.
Prepare and combine all ingredients except seeds up to 4 hours ahead. Add seeds just before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish.
Common Mistakes
Do not add seeds until serving to avoid them becoming soggy.
