Hey friends! Today, I’m excited to share a unique recipe that was inspired by the beautiful colors of autumn.

This Autumn Coleslaw with Spicy Cider Dressing is a wonderful blend of sweet and savory flavors that will surely wow your taste buds.

Preparation

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1/2 head of purple cabbage, shredded (about 300g)
  • 2 large carrots, julienned (about 200g)
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced (about 150g)
  • 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

To bring this dish to life, you will also need the following kitchen tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • large mixing bowl
  • small bowl
  • whisk

### Instructions
Start by combining the shredded purple cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced apple, pecans, and raisins in a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, and salt to create the spicy cider dressing. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss everything together until well coated.

Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, try letting the coleslaw marinate in the dressing for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a more robust taste experience.

Serving

This Autumn Coleslaw with Spicy Cider Dressing yields approximately 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g and is packed with roughly 250 calories. Enjoy this dish as a refreshing side salad alongside your favorite autumn-inspired mains, or as a healthy snack on a crisp fall day.
