Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups, shredded green cabbage
- 1 medium, grated carrot
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the oil.
Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but still have a bit of crunch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cooked vegetables in the skillet and mix well to evenly coat.
Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top if desired.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish for two.
