An apple cider vinegar–based coleslaw is a lighter, heart-healthy twist on the classic dish because it skips mayonnaise, significantly reducing saturated fat and total calories. Packed with cabbage and carrots, it provides fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants that support digestion, immunity, and overall health. Quick and easy to prepare, this refreshing side pairs well with almost any meal. We suggest pairing with our honey mustard chicken thighs.
