# Expert Suggestions:

It comes together in 15 minutes flat, no cooking required, just knife skills and confidence.
The crunch stays crisp for hours, making it perfect for meal prep or bringing to gatherings.
That tart apple and vinegar combo feels bright and clean, cutting through heavier foods like nobody's business.

02 -

Don't dress this slaw more than a couple hours ahead or the cabbage starts to weep and turns mushy, robbing you of the whole point.
A Granny Smith apple is non-negotiable here, a sweeter variety will throw the whole balance off and make it taste like dessert.
