Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 1 cup green cabbage
- 1 cup red cabbage

- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, if compliant)

Instructions
Peel the carrots and then use a grater or food processor to shred them into thin strips. Transfer the shredded carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the green and red cabbages into fine shreds and add them to the bowl with the carrots.
Chop the green onions into small pieces and add to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the vegetable mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and use tongs or a large spoon to mix everything thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the carrot slaw as a side dish or use it as a topping for protein dishes.
