Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Celery seed
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer layers of the cabbage if they are discolored or wilted. Cut the cabbage in half, and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds or use a food processor.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.

Step 3

Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips after removing its core and seeds.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and sliced red onion. Toss to mix evenly.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the vinegar dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl. Toss the vegetables and dressing together until the coleslaw is evenly coated.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
