We believe the Thanksgiving table should be balanced with something light, crunchy, and refreshing. This thanksgiving slaw is simple to make and doesn’t take much time. It can sit out for a while, without it wilting, perfect for when the kitchen is already in overtime.

- 30 ml of vegetable oil
- A quarter cup of apple cider vinegar
