The ingredients can easily be changed up for variation:
- Replace green cabbage for napa or red cabbage, or use a combo.
- Use your favorite apples – fuji, granny smith, honey crisp, gala, golden delicious, etc.
- In place of cranberries, raisins would work well.
- Vary up the almonds, using sunflower seeds, pecans, or walnuts.
- Use diced red onion in place of green onions.
