Ingredients
- 1 small head red cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Remove the outer layers of the red cabbage if they are wilted or damaged. Thinly slice the red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Add the sliced cabbage to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the parsley. Add both to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well to create a smooth dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over the top for added crunch just before serving.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
