Ingredients

• 4 large carrots
• 0.5 head red cabbage
• 4 stalks green onions
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and then use a box grater or food processor with a shredding blade to grate them into thin strips. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Remove the tough core from the half head of red cabbage. Use a sharp knife to slice the cabbage into thin shreds and add it to the bowl with the carrots.

Step 3

Thinly slice the green onions and chop the fresh parsley. Add both to the bowl with the carrots and cabbage.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the carrot and cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Let the slaw sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Give it a final toss before serving. Enjoy!
