Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.5 head Red cabbage
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and shred them into thin strands using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Peel and grate the carrots using the same method.
Slice the red cabbage into thin strips and then finely chop them to match the shredded texture of the sweet potatoes and carrots.
Chop the green onions into thin slices and roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sweet potatoes, carrots, red cabbage, green onions, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
