Apple and Poppy Seed Coleslaw

I've been cooking a lot this sabbatical but not posting the food here. But this simple gem of a recipe I found on this website is too good not to share. So easy but so delicious and refreshing. There are a lot of commercial coleslaws out there but nothing beats home-made goodness. I tweaked the recipe by adding an additional splash of apple cider vinger because I like my coleslaw tangy. Perfect! I feel happy just looking at the pretty bowl of coleslaw.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 1/2 cups shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 Granny Smith apple, julienned
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
