Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 large carrot
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the cabbage.
Finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a slightly more chilled and marinated flavor.
