Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Farfalle pasta
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 cups Green cabbage
- 1 cup Carrot, shredded
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the farfalle pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
While the pasta cooks, finely shred the red and green cabbage and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded carrot and sliced green onions to the bowl with the cabbage. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl of vegetables. Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables, and toss everything together until well coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and gently toss again.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
