In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and thinly sliced apple. Toss gently to mix.
1 Cup Cabbage, 1 Medium Apple
Stir in the sauerkraut and Parmesan cheese. These add both flavor and texture.
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 1/4 Cup Sauerkraut
In a small bowl add the maple syrup and mayonnaise over the slaw. Add salt and pepper to taste.
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup, 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise, Salt, Pepper
Pour the salad dressing over the cabbage and apple mixture, toss everything until evenly coated. The dressing lightly covers the cabbage and apple without weighing it down.
For best flavor, let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
