Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage, thinly shredded
- 2 cups Purple cabbage, thinly shredded
- 1 cup Carrots, shredded
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 4 stalks Green onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.33 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, green onion, and parsley. Toss to mix evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the vinaigrette is well emulsified.
Pour the sweet-tart vinaigrette over the veggie mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the slaw overnight (or for at least 8 hours) to allow the vegetables to soften slightly and absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette.
Before serving, toss the slaw again to redistribute the dressing.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.
