Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head red cabbage
- 2 medium apple
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, rinse the head under cold water, and pat dry.
Slice the red cabbage into thin shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage into a large bowl.
Core the apples and slice them into thin matchsticks or small cubes. Immediately toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add the apples, raisins, and walnuts to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.
Pour the honey dressing over the salad and toss everything together thoroughly until evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey if necessary.
Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
