Big Mike's Apple Coleslaw

Looks almost good enough to eat, doesn't it?

I'm making pulled pork sandwiches tonight and I've been researching apple slaw as the perfect side dish for the pork. My recipe was done a step or two at a time until I was happy with the taste. It is sitting in the refrigerator now covered by cling wrap to let the dressing work its magic on the cabbage and apples.

So here is how it ended up.
This should make 4-6 servings.

Ingredients
1/3 head of green cabbage finely sliced and shredded
1/3 head of purple cabbage finely sliced and shredded
2 carrots peeled and julienned
2 green apples, peeled, cored and julienned
2 scallions finely chopped

Dressing
1/3 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup honey (maybe a little more)
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground black pepper

Directions
Mix the dressing ingredients together in a bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside in reserve.
Slice, shred and julienne cabbage, carrots, scallions and apples. Combine in a large bowl and mix. Lightly salt mixture and add a pinch of ground pepper.
Pour dressing into mixture and mix thoroughly. Cover with cling wrap and set in refrigerator to cool while all those flavors marry into the mixture (at least one hour).

I think an option I might try day two with the leftovers is to add dried cranberries to the mix. That sounds yummy!

This might also benefit from a dash of cayenne pepper, but I'll experiment more once I've nailed the basic recipe.
