Combine the ingredients for the coleslaw dressing in a small bowl or measuring cup and mix until creamy. Either refrigerate (for up to 4 days) until ready to use or set aside while you’re preparing the rest of the recipe. Note: if you prefer your coleslaw saturated in dressing, double the recipe for more dressing.

Use a box grater to grate the carrots and thinly slice the cabbage with a sharp knife. Chop the green onions (using only the green parts of the onions and discarding the white parts). Peel and cut the apple into thin matchsticks. Transfer the carrots, cabbage, green onions, and apple to a very large bowl, along with the sliced almonds and dried cranberries.

Pour all of the creamy coleslaw dressing into the mixing bowl and mix well until everything is coated in a light coat of dressing. Taste the carrot apple slaw for flavor and add more sea salt, dried cranberries, or lemon juice to your personal taste.

Serve with your main dish and any additional side dishes. Use this delicious coleslaw as a side dish or a condiment. It’s delicious on fish tacos, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, or add it to salads.
