Keywords: Consider swapping Granny Smith apples for sweeter varieties like Fuji or adding nuts for extra texture. For those who enjoy a hint of sweetness, dried cranberries can be incorporated. You can make the slaw up to 24 hours in advance but add dressing right before serving for optimal freshness.
