Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 head Green cabbage
- 0.5 head Red cabbage
- 3 medium Carrots
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Parsley
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by thinly slicing the green and red cabbage. Place the sliced cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and use a julienne peeler to cut them into thin strips. Add the carrot strips to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add both to the mixing bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the bowl, mixing all the vegetables together until evenly combined.
In a small bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together thoroughly or shake the jar until all the components are well mixed and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, tossing gently using salad tongs to ensure all vegetables are coated evenly with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld and for the cabbage to soften slightly.
Serve the salad immediately as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy the refreshing crunch and tangy Mediterranean flavors!
