Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups, shredded Green cabbage
- 2 medium, julienned Carrots
- 1 medium, sliced thinly Red bell pepper
- 1 bunch, chopped Fresh parsley
- 3 stalks, sliced thinly Green onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the cabbage finely to equal about 3 cups.
Peel and julienne the carrots into thin strips. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the parsley and thinly slice the green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced red bell pepper, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions.
In a small bowl or a jar, mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld better.
Before serving, give the salad one final toss to make sure the dressing is well distributed. Serve as a refreshing side dish or enjoy it on its own.
