Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium granny smith apples, sliced into 1/2-inch sticks, about 3 3/4 cups
  • 1/2 small head of cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup kretschmer honey crunch wheat germ
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. In a heavy-bottomed 10-inch skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Mix in the apples, cabbage, carrots, and raisins. Stir to combine. Pour in the apple cider. Cover and cook over medium heat just until cabbage is wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the walnuts, wheat germ, lemon juice, zest, and salt. Allow the salad to sit for 5 minutes before serving to absorb some of the liquid.
