Ingredients
- 1 head red cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the red cabbage. Using a sharp knife, cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds. Alternatively, use a mandoline slicer for even cuts.
Step 2
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced green onions.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to evenly coat.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the cabbage mixture and give it one final toss.
Step 7
Let the dish sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for a chilled version.
Step 8
Serve as a fresh, crisp side dish or as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or grain bowls.
