Ingredients

• 1 small head Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 small bunch Fresh parsley
• 1 large Lemon
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves of the green cabbage and thinly slice it into shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots, then grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the vegetable mixture for a fresh burst of flavor and color.

Step 4

To prepare the dressing, squeeze the juice from the lemon into a small bowl or jar. Make sure to remove any seeds.

Step 5

Whisk the lemon juice with olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified. If you are using a jar, you can shake everything together with the lid tightly sealed.

Step 6

Pour the lemon dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and parsley. Toss everything well to combine so the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Let the slaw rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend together. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for a chilled and slightly marinated flavor.
