If you’re making breakfast, cook ham and grits and fry some eggs. For dinner, this slaw makes a nice accompaniment to the salty meat. It is designed for maximum crunch. Prep the cabbage, onion, and apple and make the dressing ahead, if you like, but don’t add the dressing to the slaw until shortly before serving. Chop the mint just before serving, too.
