Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head red cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the red cabbage. Using a sharp knife, cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds. Alternatively, use a mandoline slicer for even cuts.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced green onions.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to evenly coat.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the cabbage mixture and give it one final toss.
Let the dish sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for a chilled version.
Serve as a fresh, crisp side dish or as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or grain bowls.
