Ingredients

  • 1 small head Red cabbage
  • 2 medium Carrot
  • 3 stalks Green onion
  • 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
  • 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Remove any outer leaves from the red cabbage and cut it in half. Core the cabbage and finely slice it. You should have about 5 cups of shredded cabbage.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor.

Step 3

Thinly slice the green onions, including the green tops.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley finely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, black pepper, and Dijon mustard until well blended.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften.

Step 9

Serve chilled. Taste before serving and add more black pepper, if desired.
