A refreshing and crunchy coleslaw featuring locally sourced Jersey cabbage, crisp apples, and a tangy cider vinaigrette. The inclusion of Jersey Royal potatoes adds a unique and delicious twist.
Prepare the Jersey Royal potatoes: Boil the potatoes until tender. Cool slightly and dice into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the coleslaw: In a large bowl, combine the shredded Jersey cabbage, diced Jersey Royal potatoes, sliced apples, and thinly sliced red onion. Add the chopped fresh parsley.
Make the cider vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, olive oil, Jersey honey, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add Jersey double cream for a creamier dressing, if using.
Dress the coleslaw: Pour the cider vinaigrette over the cabbage and apple mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps to soften the cabbage slightly.
Serve: Before serving, give the coleslaw another gentle toss. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve chilled.

For a sweeter coleslaw, use a slightly sweeter variety of apple or add a touch more Jersey honey to the vinaigrette.
If you don't have Jersey honey, you can substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
For a creamier coleslaw, add a dollop of Jersey creme fraiche or Greek yogurt to the vinaigrette.
To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice before adding them to the coleslaw.
The coleslaw can be made a day ahead of time, but the apples may soften slightly.
