Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head red cabbage
- 2 medium carrot
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup packed fresh parsley
- 4 stalks green onion
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, then cut the cabbage in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots, then use a grater or julienne peeler to shred them finely. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper. Thinly slice it into strips and add to the mixing bowl.
Chop the parsley finely, and slice the green onions into thin rings. Add both to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salad and toss once more.
Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy this crunchy and vibrant salad!
