Ingredients

• 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
• 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
• 2 medium-sized Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup (grated) Carrots
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 cup (toasted and chopped) Walnuts
• 1 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Shred the green and red cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Core and thinly slice the apples into matchstick-sized strips or small chunks. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Grate the carrot and chop the parsley. Add both to the salad bowl along with the toasted and chopped walnuts and raisins (if using).

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a dash more vinegar if desired.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for maximum crunch.
