Apple Cabbage Yogurt Slaw
Apple brings a sweet crunch to cabbage dressed with yogurt, lemon and mustard. It makes a cool side for a warm lunch, especially when a large cabbage has more than one meal to cover. Thin shreds are worth the extra attention. A short rest lets the dressing settle through the vegetables, but does not turn thick cabbage pieces tender.

Storage
Keep assembled portions covered and refrigerated until serving. Follow the labels and handling guidance for the perishable ingredients; a reminder date does not establish a new storage life.
For perishable foods and leftovers, U.S. FDA guidance calls for prompt refrigeration, no more than two hours at room temperature (one hour above 32°C/90°F), and a refrigerator at or below 4°C/40°F. Follow the product label and local guidance. Smell and appearance alone cannot establish safety.
FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Use a crisp eating apple rather than applesauce. The matchsticks supply crunch; puree adds loose moisture and cannot replace them by equal weight.
