Ingredients

• 1 medium head Red cabbage
• 2 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red apple
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, then cut it in half. Remove the core and thinly slice the cabbage halves into fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.

Step 3

Cut the apple into quarters, remove the core, and slice thinly or cut into matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 4

Chop fresh parsley finely, aiming for about a quarter cup of loosely packed chopped parsley.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced apple, chopped parsley, and sunflower seeds.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or a touch of salt and pepper if desired.

Step 9

Allow the slaw to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. It can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.

Step 10

Serve as a side dish or a light, heart-healthy lunch. Enjoy!
