Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (approximately 1.5 lbs) Napa cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh dill
- 0.5 small Red 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
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the Napa cabbage if they are wilted or damaged. Slice the cabbage in half lengthwise, remove the core, and thinly shred the cabbage into fine strips. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrots or shred them using a grater. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and add it to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the slaw and gently toss again to distribute the dill evenly.
Let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
