Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 2 medium (julienned or shredded) Carrots
- 1 medium (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, and chopped parsley. Toss well to distribute the vegetables evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large bowl.
Gently toss the salad until all the vegetables are thoroughly coated with the dressing.
Let the coleslaw sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but enhances the taste.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for extra tanginess.
Serve the coleslaw as a fresh side dish for grilled fish, chicken, or any Mediterranean-inspired meal. It can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
