Apple Slaw
Mix the apples, cabbage, carrot and green onions and toss in the mixture of the yogurt, cider vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper.

Note: I used Opal apples for this slaw but any sweet and tart apple like a honey crisp would work.
Option: Replace the Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons of oil for lactose free version.
Tip: Use a mandoline to quickly shred the cabbage and slice the apples and carrots thinly in one direction and use a knife to slice thinly in the other direction.
