Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 medium (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 1 large (shredded) Carrot
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 2 (thinly sliced) Green onions

Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and shred the carrot. Place them all in a large mixing bowl.
Add the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions to the bowl with the vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette. Whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
Pour the vinaigrette over the prepared vegetables in the large mixing bowl.
Toss the salad thoroughly to ensure the dressing coats all the vegetables evenly.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately as a fresh side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to further enhance the flavors.
