*

This slaw is best served within an hour of being dressed. Use the large holes of a box grater to prepare the apple. We like the color the apple peel adds to the slaw, but it can be peeled, if desired.

Instructions

1.

Bring white wine vinegar to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat; cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer white wine vinegar to large bowl and let cool completely, about 10 minutes. Whisk in oil, cider vinegar, sugar, and salt.

2.

When ready to serve, add cabbage, celery, and apple to dressing and toss to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add walnuts and chives and toss to combine. Serve.
