Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 medium Apples (preferably crisp ones like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Slivered almonds
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into shreds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and use a grater or julienne peeler to create thin carrot strips. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Core the apples and cut them into thin matchstick slices (you can leave the skin on for added texture and color). Add the slices to the mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the salad ingredients.
In a small, dry skillet over low heat, toast the slivered almonds until lightly golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss thoroughly to combine everything evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds on top of the salad before serving.
Serve immediately for maximum crunch and freshness, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
