Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 0.5 head red cabbage
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding blade, shred the carrots into fine pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red cabbage into shreds approximately the same size as the carrots. Add to the bowl with the carrots.
Slice the green onions finely, both the white and light green parts, and add them to the bowl.
Add the chopped fresh parsley to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the carrot, cabbage, and parsley mixture.
Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Give a final toss before serving to refresh the ingredients.
