Ingredients

1/3 cup mayonnaise $0.63
2 tsp Dijon mustard $0.05
2 tsp honey $0.11
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar $0.09
1/4 tsp salt (plus more to taste) $0.01
1/8 tsp black pepper $0.01
1 small cabbage, thinly sliced (about 5 cups) $2.23
3 Granny Smith apples, julienned (about 2 cups)* $2.55
2 carrots, julienned (about 2 cups)* $0.42
3 green onions, sliced (about 1 cup)* $0.36

Instructions

Mix the mayonnaise, Dijon, honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper to make a dressing.
Shred or thinly slice the cabbage into 2-inch by ¼-inch strips. Shred or slice the carrots into 2-inch by ⅛-inch strips. Peel and core the apples. Shred or slice them into 2-inch by ⅛-inch strips and keep them in water with lemon juice or vinegar added, so they don't brown.** Cut the green onions on the diagonal into 1/8-inch thick slices.
Mix the apples and vegetables with the dressing in a large bowl. If necessary, add more salt to taste.
Keep the salad refrigerated until ready to serve. Mix before serving, and add more salt to taste.

Notes

*If finely slicing vegetables is difficult for you, use the slicing or shredding attachment on a food processor, a mandoline, or a large-holed cheese grater.

**For every one cup of water add 2 tsp lemon juice or 1 tsp distilled or apple cider vinegar.
