Chef's Notes

For the best texture, grate the vegetables and apples just before assembling the slaw to prevent them from becoming watery or mushy.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to achieve your desired creaminess. Start with less and add more as needed.
Don't skip chilling the slaw! This allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to crisp up further.
Experiment with different fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives for varied flavor profiles.
To add a touch of sweetness, consider a tiny drizzle of honey or maple syrup in the dressing, especially if the apples are tart.
