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

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.
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.
