Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium size) green cabbage
- 0.5 head (small size) red cabbage
- 2 large carrot
- 4 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup white vinegar
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the green onions and toss them with the other vegetables in the bowl.
Toast the slivered almonds and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, let them cool slightly and add them to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad, and gently toss to coat all of the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Crunchy Cabbage Salad!
