A recipe for Granny Smith Apple Slaw in celebration of the #SecretRecipeClub’s anniversary! This cabbage, apple, and carrot slaw comes together easily and is lightly coated in a refreshing yogurt-based dressing.
Secret Recipe Club
I was a part of the Secret Recipe Club from August 2013 to its last day in November 2016. I got to know so many wonderful bloggers and tried so many delicious recipes during those three years.
Well today, we are getting together again for an anniversary post! We were each assigned a different blog to secretly make a recipe to share today.
I was assigned to The Spiffy Cookie! Along with the blog, Erin is also a PhD researcher in Microbiology. She has a great variety of recipes including plenty for kids (especially those like mine who love Star Wars) and even a few travel posts for those in the Ohio area (Butler County has a Donut Trail!).
In addition to the Granny Smith Apple Slaw I am sharing today, I also have her Bacon, Cheddar, Caramelized Onion, and Potato Pierogi; Buckeye Cheesecake Cake; Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cannoli; Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats; and especially this Slow Cooker Bolognese with Meatballs saved for later.
Granny Smith Apple Slaw
I had Erin’s blog once before during the SRC’s run and made Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes for Evan’s 2nd birthday (he is turning 6 tomorrow!).
This time, I decided to try her Granny Smith Apple Slaw. We were in need of some vegetables after a few weeks of vacations, birthday parties, and dessert-based cookbook reviews and this definitely hit the spot.
A combination of shredded cabbage, sweet and tart Granny Smith apples, and carrots are simply tossed in a light and refreshing yogurt dijon dressing.
Erin recommends pairing the slaw with Sloppy Joes. Claire especially loved the addition of the apples.

This goes on the list for next week. I have never met a slaw that I didn’t like! The apples in this sold me. It is a must!!

That yogurt-based dressing is speaking to me! Sorry it took me a week to get around to commenting…your dish looks amazing! It was so fun to revive the SRC, if only for this day.
Lauren
I’m so glad you picked this recipe because it sounds absolutely incredible!! I can’t wait to make.
jane
i dont have any plain yogurt could i use mayo ot another substitute ?
Tara
Mayo would probably be too strong. Sour cream may work better, possibly diluted with a little milk.
April
Can’t wait to try this, the dressing sounds delicious. Thank you for the recipe!
Alisa Infanti
This sounds so good paired with pulled pork sandwiches!
Jill
Love the bright, sweet and tart flavor the apple adds to this slaw. Great recipe, thank you!
Angela
Yeah for no mayo. I love slaw recipes without mayo and this is going to be a summer staple at our house – that good!
