Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage
- 1 large carrot
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by finely slicing the green cabbage. You'll want to end up with about 4 cups of thinly sliced cabbage. Place it into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the large carrot and grate it using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the half small red onion and add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrot.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice to make your dressing.
Add the garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the dressing, and whisk again until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the coleslaw cold as a refreshing side dish. It's perfect alongside grilled meats or as part of a salad plate.
