Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing all vegetables thoroughly under cold running water.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, shred the cabbage finely and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots, then grate them using a box grater or food processor, and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, then julienne it into thin strips. Add the strips to the mixing bowl.
Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together gently until the cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper are evenly coated.
Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Serve the salad as a side dish or enjoy it as a light, healthy meal.
