- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

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.
