Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 2 cups Red cabbage
• 2 medium Apples (preferably crisp ones like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 large Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into shreds and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and use a grater or julienne peeler to create thin carrot strips. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Core the apples and cut them into thin matchstick slices (you can leave the skin on for added texture and color). Add the slices to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the salad ingredients.

Step 5

In a small, dry skillet over low heat, toast the slivered almonds until lightly golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss thoroughly to combine everything evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds on top of the salad before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately for maximum crunch and freshness, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
