Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (about 1 lb total) Turnips
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.5 head (about 3 cups shredded) Green cabbage
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and trim the turnips. Using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment, shred the turnips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and shred the carrots, and add them to the bowl with the turnips.
Remove the core from the cabbage and thinly shred it. Add the shredded cabbage to the same bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and chop the parsley. Add both to the vegetable mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole-grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until smooth and emulsified.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss well to coat evenly.
Let the slaw sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Toss once more before serving.
Serve as a side dish or as a light meal. This slaw pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
