A delightful twist on the classic coleslaw, featuring dried cranberries and slivered almonds for added texture and flavor.
Place the coleslaw mix into a large mixing bowl.
Using pre-shredded coleslaw mix saves time and ensures uniform texture.
Add the dried cranberries, slivered almonds, and chopped red onion to the bowl.
Ensure the almonds are evenly distributed for a consistent crunch in every bite.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Whisking the dressing thoroughly ensures a creamy and well-blended consistency.
Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the ingredients while ensuring even coating.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more delicious result.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprig of parsley or cilantro.
Garnishing adds a touch of freshness and enhances presentation.
