Ingredients

• 1 medium head red cabbage
• 2 large carrot
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 3 stalks green onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup toasted sunflower seeds or slivered almonds

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves from the red cabbage, then cut it in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage into a large salad bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips, then add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley and thinly slice the green onions. Add both to the salad bowl.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the salad bowl. Toss well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Sprinkle the toasted sunflower seeds or slivered almonds over the top of the salad for added crunch and flavor.

Step 8

Serve the salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
