Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 2 mandarin oranges
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded carrots in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the mandarin oranges, separate the segments, and cut each segment in half. Add them to the mixing bowl with the carrots.
Finely slice the green onions and chop the parsley. Add both to the bowl with the carrots and oranges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and orange mixture. Toss everything together gently to coat the ingredients evenly in the dressing.
Let the slaw sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately as a fresh, crunchy side dish.
