10 minThis crisp, fruity slaw has old-world German roots and takes all of ten minutes to throw together. No stove, no oven, just a bowl and a good toss.
Shredded raw cabbage gets mixed with diced apple and plump raisins, then dressed in a tangy sour cream blend spiked with pineapple juice and lemon. The dressing coats everything in a creamy, sweet-tart glaze that gets even better after chilling in the fridge.
Bring this to a potluck, serve it alongside grilled bratwurst, or just eat it straight from the bowl on a warm afternoon. It holds up well and won’t wilt like lettuce-based salads.
Kitchen Tips
- Toss the diced apple in lemon juice right away to keep it from browning
- Let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes so the raisins plump up and the flavors meld
- Swap Greek yogurt for the sour cream if you want a lighter version
