Method
Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust with more sugar or vinegar if desired.
Prepare the Apples and Scallions
- Core the apples and cut them into thin matchsticks. Slice the scallions thinly, using both white and green parts.
Assemble the Slaw
- In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, apples, and scallions. Pour the dressing over the top and toss until everything is evenly coated. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve or Chill
- Serve the slaw immediately, or cover and refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors meld. Stir again before serving.

Notes
For a tangier dressing, swap the sour cream for Greek yogurt or add an extra squeeze of lime juice. You can use any apple variety, but a mix of sweet and tart apples gives the best flavor. If you're meal prepping, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to keep the slaw crisp. This slaw is also great as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches or fish tacos. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days—the apples may soften slightly. Adjust the sugar to your taste; some prefer a sweeter slaw, others like it more savory.
