- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and cut it in half. Core the cabbage and slice it thinly into shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Core the green apple and grate it with the skin on for added texture and color.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, grated apple, and diced onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to coat evenly.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss lightly to incorporate.
Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
