    Directions

    1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium heat.

    2. Toss together coleslaw mix, apple, red cabbage, and green onions in a large bowl. Blend together oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, caraway seeds, and salt in a blender. Pour over coleslaw mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
