Ingredients

• 0.5 medium head Green cabbage
• 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
• 2 large Carrots
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbages and cut them in half. Slice each half finely into thin shreds using a chef's knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Cut the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. First, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes. Then, slice each pepper into thin julienne strips and add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Slice the green onions thinly, including both the white and green parts. Add the sliced green onions to the bowl.

Step 5

Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mix for an added burst of freshness and flavor.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the veggies are well coated in the dressing.

Step 8

Cover the slaw and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended.

Step 9

Toss the slaw again just before serving and enjoy it as a healthy, low sodium side dish.
