- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves and core from the green cabbage. Thinly slice it and place in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and add it to the bowl with the green cabbage.
Peel and grate the carrots. Add the grated carrots to the mixing bowl.
Remove seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, then thinly slice it into strips and add to the bowl.
Trim and thinly slice the green onions and add to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro roughly and add it to the mix.
Roughly chop the almonds and set aside to add later just before serving for extra crunch.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated.
Refrigerate the slaw for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, stir in the chopped almonds to maintain their crunchiness.
Serve as a side dish or topping for your favorite Whole30 protein.
