Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, then cut it in half and remove the core. Finely slice the cabbage into thin shreds or use a mandoline for even slices. Place the cabbage into a large salad bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the salad bowl with the cabbage.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the onion slices to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mix for a refreshing herby flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables and toss well to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Optional: Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top for added crunch and nuttiness.
Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light meal.
