Ingredients
- 1 small head Green cabbage
- 0.5 small head Purple cabbage
- 2 medium Carrot
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
- 3 stalks Green onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of both green and purple cabbages. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
Using a sharp knife or a food processor, finely shred the green and purple cabbages. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the mixing bowl.
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool, then roughly chop. Add the almonds and sunflower seeds to the bowl with the vegetables.
Thinly slice the green onions and roughly chop the fresh parsley. Add both to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to combine.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your crunchy, nutty cabbage salad!
