Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 0.5 head red cabbage
- 4 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Peel the carrots and then use a box grater or food processor with a shredding blade to grate them into thin strips. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Remove the tough core from the half head of red cabbage. Use a sharp knife to slice the cabbage into thin shreds and add it to the bowl with the carrots.
Thinly slice the green onions and chop the fresh parsley. Add both to the bowl with the carrots and cabbage.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the slaw sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Give it a final toss before serving. Enjoy!
