Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
• 2 large Carrot
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbages. Cut them into quarters, remove the cores, and finely shred the cabbage using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool.

Step 4

Chop the parsley finely and add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together well to combine.

Step 7

Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top and gently fold them into the salad.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
