Jackfruit BBQ with Green Apple Coleslaw

This green apple coleslaw is so easy and can be adapted to the ingredients you have available. Out of Granny Smith apples ? No problem, use Honeycrisp instead or whatever variety you have on hand and toss it well in fresh lime or lemon juice. 
 

Make it with pretty purple cabbage, green cabbage or a mix of both. Add some sliced bell peppers in there if you like, a handful of micro-greens and make it your own.

How to keep the apples from browning?

 
As soon as you cut the apple make sure to squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top. The acid will prevent oxidation so therefor browning.
 
Packs well in a mason jar to bring to a potluck, lovely served as a side dish or piled up high on these vegan pulled pork jackfruit tacos. So delicious!
 

good to know: “ An apple a day keeps the doctor away ” a cliche backed up by modern science, so eat your apple or your apple coleslaw. Win-win!
