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 Honeycrisps instead or whatever variety you have and toss it well in fresh lime or lemon juice.

Make it with pretty purple cabbage, green or a mix of both. Add some sliced bell peppers in there if you like, 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!
