    The Cosmic Crisp apple I used was quite sweet so I reduced the sugar to 1/4 the amount specified. Unless I was using a super-tart apple, I'd leave it out entirely. After tasting, I doubled the amount of pickled ginger and preserved orange rind. I skipped the salt and added some of the orange pulp, chopped up, and a few drops of the brine to taste. I liked this a lot. Should be good with other vegetables like kohlrabi, jicama, radish, carrot, etc.

    I have mixed feelings about this slaw--I like that it is inventive and isn't the typical combo of slaw ingredients, and it is juicy and fresh-tasting (it skews sweet but not in a cloying way). However, the combo of raw beets, raw sweet potatoes, and pickled ginger gave it an undeniably earthy undertone--so much so that C, who is more tolerant of dirt-flavored foods like beets than I am, mentioned it. I think if I made it again I might omit the beets and/or the sweet potatoes (perhaps swapping for a more savory veg like tokyo turnips or cabbage), and possible swap the pickled ginger for (a smaller amount of) fresh. Used pickled lemons rather than oranges because that's what we had on hand, but I don't think that substantially changed the nature of the dish.
