Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (thawed) Frozen green peas
- 1 medium (shredded) Carrot
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise

- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage into thin strips, using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Measure out 4 cups and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Thaw 1 cup of frozen green peas by rinsing them under lukewarm water. Pat them dry with a clean paper towel and add to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel and shred the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl.
Finely dice 1/4 cup of red onion and mix it into the bowl with the cabbage, peas, and carrot.
Prepare the dressing in a separate smaller bowl. Combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Season the dressing with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk everything together until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or large spoon to toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated in the dressing.
Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss lightly to incorporate.
For best results, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy your refreshing Pea Cabbage Salad!
