Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium beetroot
- 2 medium carrot
- 0.25 head red cabbage
- 1 large green apple
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the beetroots and carrots. Shred them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, then finely shred the remaining cabbage.
Core the green apple and cut it into thin matchsticks for a good crunch and taste variation in the slaw.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Chop the parsley finely and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded beetroot, carrot, cabbage, apple matchsticks, and sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined and the dressing emulsifies.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together to ensure that all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the slaw and give it a final toss.
Cover the slaw with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Stir the slaw once more before serving to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish or use it as a topping for sandwiches and burgers.
