Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head red cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large red apple
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the red cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the quarters into fine shreds. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Wash the red apple, core it, and slice it into thin matchsticks or julienne strips. Add the apple to the bowl.
Finely chop the green onions, both the white and light green parts, and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Festive Red Slaw chilled as a side dish for your favorite meal or festive gathering.
