Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbage, and slice them into thin shreds. Rinse and drain well.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or a food processor.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shredded green and red cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to coat in the oil and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still retains some crunch.
Stir in the grated carrot and cook for 2 more minutes.
While the cabbage and carrot are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the dressing over the warm cabbage and carrots. Toss thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Transfer the warm cabbage salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and optional toasted almonds or walnuts for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, tangy, and nutritious salad!
