What’s the difference between coleslaw and slaw?

The two terms can be used interchangeably. However, if we’re getting down to the nitty-gritty, coleslaw is always made with a base of cabbage, and slaw can include a variety of chopped or shredded vegetables.

Instructions

Add the cabbage to a large mixing bowl.
Rinse and cut the leaves off of the leek and cut into pieces or slice the green onion into thin strips. Transfer to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
Add the chopped apple to the bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, optional mayo, oil, vinegar, and mustard. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour the dressing into the vegetable mix and toss to combine. Let the slaw rest in a cool place or the fridge for at least 30 minutes to “break down” the fibers and make it easier to absorb.
If desired, top with slivered almonds before serving and fresh mint. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
