If you're sick of serving the same old slaw, this is the salad for you. It has the same crunch, but with a few added extras which take it to the next level. Thinly sliced apples bring a natural sweetness, while Brussels sprouts, kale, and red cabbage provide a hearty base. Dried cranberries add a chewy burst of tartness, complemented by creamy crumbled feta and toasted walnuts for a satisfying contrast of textures. Ideal as a light lunch, a side for roasted meats, or a festive dish for gatherings, this salad is as delicious as it is nourishing.
