Wash and dry the kale thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and finely chop the leaves. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

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

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the kale slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6
