Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks Green onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
Instructions
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, finely shred the green cabbage into thin strips until you have about 6 cups. Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and thinly slice the green onion stalks. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and fold it into the salad mixture for a touch of freshness and flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle the sunflower seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.
Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
