Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Red apple
- 3 cups Red cabbage
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the red apples. Core the apples and slice them into thin julienne-style strips. Set aside.
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and thinly slice it into shreds until you have approximately 3 cups. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and very thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes. Add the onion to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the cabbage and onion mixture.
In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is emulsified and creamy.
Add the julienned apple slices to the mixing bowl with the cabbage and onions.
Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, and enjoy!
