It’s much easier and faster to make the autumn coleslaw if you’ve got a food processor with a grating plate. But if not you’ll just need to put in a bit of effort and grate the veggies using a box grater.

To make the red cabbage apple coleslaw all you need to do is grate the cabbage, onion and carrots. Stir in the creamy homemade dressing with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar and seasoning. Then gently stir through the sliced apples.

Our autumn apple coleslaw tastes awesome tucked alongside toasted cheese sandwiches, piled onto sticky sausages in crusty bread rolls, heaped onto burgers or alongside cold roast meats. It’s a super versatile side dish.
