Red Cabbage & Apple Slaw | Quick & Easy Recipe

Necessity is the the mother of invention, and that’s how this red cabbage and apple slaw became a thing. We spent Labor Day weekend camping in our adorable RV with friends in the wilds of rural Vermont. In order to travel safely and comply with Vermont’s current pandemic travel guidelines, Sean and I quarantined for two weeks. Before we left, I got a relatively small grocery delivery for our trip assuming that we’d be able to find a decent grocery store near our campground.

We did not. And I was short ingredients to round out our dinners. Though we did find a phenomenal apple orchard where we got to go apple picking. You can see where this is going. I combined some of our apple haul with a few other vegetables that I happen to throw into our cooler on our way out the door and this simple slaw was born.

The thing is, even with the limited ingredient list, the vinaigrette is so flavorful and the apples so crisp, tart, and sweet, that this dead-easy side dish is a knock-out. When I got home, the only change I made to the recipe was to add a little bit of dijon to the vinaigrette. I’ve resisted some urges to toss a few more things in. With this one, I think the simplicity is the key and I’m leaving more-than-well enough alone.

Sean and I had to make the hard decision on Friday Sean and I had to make the hard decision on Friday to put Barley down. It's been a rough few days for us and the house feels *extremely* empty. But we know we were lucky to have this pup in our lives for over 14 years--our best guess is that he was about ~16 years old which is an extremely good run for any dog and we are grateful for the years with him. He was in very good shape up until the last few months and in the last four weeks he was quickly declining. He had many nicknames (as all dogs seem to): Barles, Mr.Jingles, Biffer, Stick Legs are a few. He was the absoulte perfect dog for us: food obsessed, good traveler, and happy camper. He barely barked (and when he did, it really freaked me out!) He was sweet to all. He rarely got into things, but once he sniffed out a wrapped box of Tasty Cakes I was gifting for Christmas, ripped it apart, and proceeded to hide all of the wrapped cakes under pillows all around the house. He was my constant companion when I was stuck in bed for over a month before my back surgery. Our hearts are broken but they will heal and we'll always be grateful for his friendship. RIP Barley.
