Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 0.5 small head red cabbage
- 2 medium carrot
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup almonds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by shredding the green cabbage. Remove the outer leaves, cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and then thinly slice using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Repeat the shredding process with the red cabbage and add it to the bowl containing the green cabbage.
Peel the carrots and julienne them into thin strips, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Slice the red onion thinly and add it to the salad mixture in the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the salad mixture.
Roughly chop the almonds and add them to the bowl for some crunch.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and honey until well combined.
Season the dressing with sea salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together until all the ingredients are well coated in the dressing.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days for continued freshness.
